Esteemed guests, friends and family attended the official grand opening of the new maternity ward of Quality Care Private Hospital in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on Saturday, 13 April.
Among the guest were the Limpopo MEC for Health and Social Development, Dr Norman Mabasa, who also formally opened the newly built maternity ward of the private hospital. The Quality Care Hospital is the brainchild of Dr Patrick Tigere and his wife, Caroline.
Three years ago, the couple set the ball in motion to obtain the land and permit for their vision of an own private hospital. The building complex in Grobler Street in which the Quality Care Clinic is situated already houses the offices of Dr Tigere’s gynaecological practice, a pharmacy and a coffee shop. Over the next couple of years, the hospital will also be expanded to accommodate 86 hospital beds and a theatre.
The hospital, which already functions as a sub-acute step-down facility, currently boasts 12 hospital beds in the maternity ward. This will enable prospective mothers to make use of the facilities, whether they choose to make use of Dr Tigere, who is a qualified gynaecologist, or not. The hospital is designed this way to make it possible for patients to receive various gynaecology-related treatments from Dr Tigere and other specialists who will visit the hospital.
Dr Mabasa, in his opening speech, remarked that Quality Care Private Hospital will bring specialist treatment to the more rural areas of the province and improve the quality of life of its people.
