Mokopane Hospital is located on N1 and as part of preparation for disaster period, it is important that we embark on this orthopaedic surgical backlogs project to clear the beds in anticipation of influx of patients as a results of trauma. The team will operate patients on Limpopo’s waiting list from all our 5 districts to clear all the orthopedics backlog.
“Our team will be working day and night this weekend to make sure all orthopedic patients are operated and can go back to work and join thier families so that they enjoy the festive season. This will create enough beds in our hospitals to enable us to deal with emergencies during the festive season”, Said MEC Ramathuba.
