Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health

Noting that there are over 3 800 healthcare facilities and 400 hospitals in the Republic, on what date will the rest of the hospitals and clinics be included in the exemption from load shedding?

Reply:

A total of 213 hospitals has been submitted to Eskom to be considered for possible exclusion from loadshedding. About 67% of these hospitals are supplied by municipalities while Eskom supplies about 33% of the identified hospitals. Out of the 213 hospitals, 76 hospital has been exempted of which 25 are directly supplied by Eskom and 50 by Municipalities. The number of hospitals exempted to date have doubled since the meeting held on 22 September 2022 between Eskom and National Department of Health. It is still work in progress.

END.
