The Western Cape government is taking significant steps to enhance its healthcare system, with the announcement of over 800 new jobs in frontline and support services.
This major commitment is part of the R34.47 billion budget approved for the 2026/27 financial year, indicating a pivotal transformation from a reactive approach to a proactive strategy for healthcare renewal.
Provincial Minister of Health and Wellness, Mireille Wenger, unveiled this initiative on March 29, asserting it marks the beginning of a new phase of stabilisation and strengthening for the provinces healthcare services.
