The community of Hout Bay will receive a state of the art health facility. 

The Western Cape Department of Health says the Hout Bay Valley is being serviced by two separate health facilities which neither of them are able to cope with the growing needs the community of Hout Bay. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Siviwe Gwarube said any development on the site would need to be done in such a way as to preserve the current recreation activities taking place in the area. 

Gwarube said the new facilities that we will bring in to the public community will provide a comprehensive health package for both children and adults under one roof.

“Things like paediatric services, emergency services, ARV treatment, TB treatment, women and productive health treatment. In addition, this new CBC will have a full time dentist and oral hygienist and will offer a wild range of rehabilitation services as well” Gwarube added.

Also the fact that will now be accessible to all residents of the Hout Bay valley will allow for much needed social inclusion in this community Gwarhube added.
