Preparations for the newly built Hout Bay Valley clinic are
underway. Western Cape Health Department spokesperson, Natalie Watlington, said
that details of the services from the facility will be known at a later stage.
Watlington assured Hout Bay residents that the department
is committed to bring healthcare services to the community and the surrounding
areas.
Residents of Hout Bay were truculent after the Hangberg day
hospital was closed down last month, following violent community protests that
broke out in the area, resulting in staff members not gaining access to their
place of work.
The Department of Health notified a Hout Bay community
activist that a polyclinic would be built in the area offering both primary and
specialist healthcare options.
