The Gauteng Department of Health wishes to inform the public that
Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and Chris Hani
Baragwanath Academic Hospital are currently experiencing technical
difficulties with their telephone systems suspected to be linked to
damaged optical fibre cables.
As a result, these facilities are unable to receive or make outgoing calls.
Two separate cases have been logged with Telkom and technicians are
actively working to resolve the issue and restore full telephone
functionality as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the public can contact the hospitals using the alternative
numbers provided to reach the appropriate service points. The numbers
can be accessed through departmental social media platforms and on
patience and understanding during this time.
