Western Cape MEC for Health, Dr Nomafrench Mbobo will this month conduct various visits throughout the province to raise awareness around mental health.

In a statement, MEC Mbombo says the Western Cape experiences high degrees of service pressure for mental health patients.

She says during the previous year, the Western Cape recorded some 43 921 outpatient mental health cases.

Mbombo adds that “Despite these pressures, the Western Cape Department of Health continues to provide quality psychiatric services for citizens by running innovative projects to mitigate readmission.”
