Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness – Service Delivery Platform

Embarking on a journey of healthcare transformation, the Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness unveils its ambitious vision in the Annual Performance Plan 2024-2025. With an extensive network of 564 service points, including 447 primary healthcare hubs, 52 hospitals, and 49 EMS stations, the commitment is to revolutionise healthcare access.
