According to News24, Mediclinic has released a statement wherein it was affirmed that the hospital had experienced excessive rainfall in the past week which resulted in the flooding of certain areas.
As such, the emergency centre has been relocated to an alternative site in the hospital. The relocation has resulted in the hospital only being able to offer limited medical services and life-threatening emergencies are being prioritised.
The hospital has urged residents and patients of the area to make use of alternative facilities for ‘non-threatening medical support.’
The hospital has confirmed that no patients have been harmed amidst the flooding.
As it stands, the Drakenstein Municipality has tasked its teams to clear the area and reduce the water levels.
Mediclinic issues its thanks to community members for support during these challenging times.
