Parkland gets a R130-million upgrade
The new St Mary's Wing at Springs Parkland Life Clinic is only part of the R130-million upgrading of this hospital.
Marika van der Linde, marketing manager, explained this new double-storeyed wing would, among others, house the 36-bed St Mary’s Wing of the hospital.
This is the women’s ward, branded as Little Life and will be on the top floor.
There is also a new ward on the ground floor and three new operating theaters with state-of the-art equipment.
The new part of the hospital has a separate entrance, reception and parking space off Achilles Road.
Van der Linde explained the ground floor ward would be, at this stage, an “overflow” ward as they were renovating the whole hospital ward by ward.
The wards are being changed by installing an en-suite bathroom in each, like the two new wards already have.
The project will be finished later this year.
With all the renovations and new ward, Springs Parkland Life Clinic will eventually house 247 patients, instead of the current 205.
