The Future Socio Economic Benefits for the Broader Community Surrounding the New Tygerberg Hospital
Thorpe Koorts is Acting Project Officer for the Tygerberg Central Hospital PPP in the Department of Health and Wellness at the Western Cape Government.
Summary
Thorpe Koorts explains how the new Tygerberg Hospital is a major project with significant socio-economic benefits for the local community, province, and nation. With an estimated construction cost of over 5 billion rand, the hospital is the second largest in the country and will result in a substantial cash injection into the Western Cape.
The project has attracted interest from international finance institutions, leading to a need for construction labor and business collaboration. Thorpe encourages local communities to prepare for the construction and invites healthcare-related businesses to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise once the hospital is operational.
Soft services like facility management, as well as healthcare services, will be provided by the private party, creating numerous business opportunities.
