​The Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) is pleased to inform the public that the water supply challenges at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital have been resolved. 

Last night, Johannesburg Water provided seven water trucks in addition to the four trucks sourced by the GDoH. As of 11:00 AM on 17 September 2024, normal water supply to the hospital has been restored. The main reservoir is now 50% full and is distributing water to other blocks within the facility. 

The Department greatly appreciate the patience and understanding of the public during this period. Furthermore, the GDoH remains committed to working closely with relevant authorities to ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply for all health facilities, thereby supporting uninterrupted healthcare services to the community.
