Mpumalanga Province has one of the biggest hospital bed deficits in South Africa. As such, Mpumalanga Department of Health appointed Tectura International to lead a multi-disciplinary team to undertake a high-level Condition and Clinical Assessment of 5 facilities within the Province and to subsequently develop Business Cases and Clinical Briefs for the facilities. These facilities are:
- Ermelo Regional Hospital
- Bethal District Hospital
- Kwamhlanga Community Hospital
- New Tertiary Hospital
- New Psychiatric Hospital (Impungwe Psychiatric Hospital)
- Witbank TB Hospital
- Witbank District Hospital
Also, Tectura Health Solutions have developed the following Feasibility studies , Business cases and clinical Briefs for the Limpopo department of health;
- Complexing of Mokopane and Voortrekker Hospitals
- Remodelling of Piertsburg Hospital
- Tsilidzini Hospitals
Most of the projects kicked off with a comprehensive Condition Assessment of the existing hospitals, which included drone videography and imaging. Recommendations were then made to align the facility with IUSS Health Facility Guidelines. A Clinical Assessment was then carried out, which is an assessment of the hospitals’ proficiency in dispensing health care.
Next, the Business Cases were developed – these included the strategic context, key national legislative and policy frameworks, situational analysis, options analysis and recommendations. Finally, the Clinical Briefs were developed to present a service package with a breakdown of the required clinical facilities. They include an overview of ideal flows, relationships and activities to aid in the development of the final design brief.
