The Eastern Cape health department says one-point-nine-billion-Rands will be spent renovating the province’s hospitals and clinics.

Spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo says for the first time in eight years the department will not be returning money allocated to it to National Treasury.

The state of hospitals and clinics in the Eastern Cape have been criticised on numerous occasions.

The department says it is determined to provide nurses and doctors with the kind of working environment that will ensure quality health care for patients.

The Eastern Cape health department added that the renovations will also provide jobs and stimulate the local economy.
