Mpumalanga Premier Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane says the building of a psychiatric hospital in the province is still in the pipeline.
The premier, who addressed the media during the opening of the newly refurbished Bethal Hospital on Tuesday, said the provincial government will announce soon when construction of a psychiatric hospital will take place.
During an address at a mental health conference in April last year, health minister Dr Joe Phaahla did indicate that Mpumalanga is the only province that does not have a specialised facility to cater to people with dual mental health issues.
Meanwhile, Mtshweni-Tsipane says renovations at Bethal hospital cost more than R800 million and the general hospital has been equipped with digital equipment, and it is in line with National Health Insurance standards.
She says they have hired more medical personnel and vacant posts will be filled in the future.
