The transfer of a 2-hectare parcel of land adjacent to Jubilee Hospital to the Gauteng Department of Health
By Cllr Kholofelo Morodi

The City of Tshwane is proud to announce the transfer of a 2-hectare parcel of land adjacent to Jubilee Hospital to the Gauteng Department of Health marking a decisive move towards restoring the dignity and safety of our residents at one of the most critically burdened healthcare facilities in the City.
Vehicles visiting Jubilee Hospital were often left exposed to theft, vandalism, and damage due to the lack of secure, designated parking.
With no traffic control or surveillance, cars were crammed along informal roadside spaces, creating confusion
and inviting crime. Drivers parked far from the entrance, forcing the sick, elderly, and frail to walk through dust, mud, or speeding traffic.
What should have been a simple arrival became a stressful and unsafe ordeal
undermining both safety and dignity at a time when care should begin the moment
patients arrived.
The newly allocated land will enable the development of a proper parking facility a long overdue intervention.
This will improve hospital access, enhance ambulance turnaround times, and drastically reduce the chaos that has affected patient arrivals for too long.
Most importantly, it reflects a commitment to ensuring all residents receive dignified, accessible healthcare.
The City encourages the Provincial Government to prioritise the development of the allocated land to support much needed infrastructure upgrades at Jubilee Hospital.
This development presents an opportunity to enhance not only healthcare provision, but the overall experience of patients and visitors through improved safety, accessibility, and order.
A well-planned intervention will go a long way in restoring public confidence and dignity at one of the region’s most critical health facilities.
