Answering a Parliamentary question, Dr Kwape said there were 45 doctors dedicated to the population of Mahalapye, four allocated to the clinics and two at the primary hospital.

He explained that currently the Mahalapye Primary Hospital was open and offering outpatients’ services and sexual reproductive health services to the public. He said since the refurbishment was done in phases, some areas of the building were not finalised.
