Hon Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes the opening of the revamped and renamed Germiston Hospital, now called Bertha Gxowa Hospital in Ekurhuleni Municipality;
(2) further notes that MaBertha was a struggle stalwart who spent her formative years in Dukathole township and was among the thousands who participated in the Women's March to the Union Buildings in 1956; (3) also notes that this hospital first opened its doors 100 years ago with separate sections for black and white patients and that the new and revamped Bertha Gxowa Hospital has been upgraded to the tune of R550 million and will cater for all our people, with dedicated neonatal, paediatric high-care units and four fully equipped operating theatres, among others; and
(4) takes this opportunity to welcome this initiative to ensure that health care services are provided to all our people and the naming of this hospital in honour of this stalwart of the liberation struggle.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
