The Gauteng Department of Health wishes to inform the public that Kalafong Hospital in Pretoria West is currently experiencing low water pressure following the repair of a burst pipe near the railway station yesterday, which has impacted the facility's operations since Saturday. 

The affected areas include the Outpatient Department (OPD) clinics, Human Resource offices, Casualty section, and the Resuscitation unit. Notwithstanding, critical areas such as Maternity, operating theatres, wards, mortuary, facility management unit and food services remain operational. To ensure continuity of healthcare services, the hospital has an existing water storage capacity sufficient for 2 to 4 days, bolstered by 2 boreholes, 4 sectional tanks and a reservoir. 

Furthermore, outpatient appointments in affected clinics are being rescheduled, and members of the public seeking non-emergency medical care are advised to visit alternative healthcare facilities until the water pressure stabilizes. 

The department apologise to the patients and the public for the inconvenience caused by the service interruptions.
