Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Health
How many more (a) hospitals and (b) clinics does his department need to build in order to operate at maximum capacity and provide the highest quality of healthcare to all South Africans (i) in each province and (ii) nationally?

There can never be a maximum for provision of health services. Number of hospitals and clinics are determined by need and availability of resources at any one time.
