Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Life Anncron hospital broke ground on a new acute rehabilitation centre early this month.
This modern facility is expected to open in November this year. It will be situated next to the present hospital, between Hartley and Andrew streets. The hospital launched the new facility on January 6.
According to Lukas Greeve, hospital manager, the hospital is investing in the community’s well-being with the construction of this new forty bed centre.
The centre will focus on helping patients requiring intensive physical rehabilitation after sustaining spinal or traumatic brain injuries, strokes, polytrauma, orthopedic surgery, acute illness and more. “We recognize the critical need for comprehensive rehabilitation services within the community,” he said.
He added this new facility will enable the hospital to provide exceptional care closer to home, ensuring patients have the support they need to regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
The new centre will house a dedicated team of rehabilitation specialists, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and rehabilitation nurses.
