Lebowakgomo Hospital maternity ward closes for 60-day renovations
The maternity ward at Lebowakgomo Hospital will be closed for two months with patients redirected to other wards or referred to nearby hospitals.
LIMPOPO – The Lebowakgomo Hospital will temporarily close its maternity ward for essential renovations for a period of 60 days that started yesterday (Friday, 9 January).
Hospital management confirmed that maternity cases will be diverted to the facility’s Female Medical Ward and Gynaecology Ward for the duration of the upgrade.

Visiting hours remain unchanged from 12:00–13:00 and 17:00–18:00 daily.
