Chris Hani Legacy Saving Lives

Gauteng Health Department is challenging the status quo by proving that sustained government investment and commitment can drive local healthcare advancement through self-sufficiency and strategic development.

This strategy is evident in the pivotal roles of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH) and Steve Biko Academic Hospital (SBAH), which have housed nine state-of-the-art linear accelerators (Linacs) since 2020.

This vision is further advanced by the build of two new radiation oncology outpatient facilities at Dr. George Mukhari Academic Hospital (DGMAH) and Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH), both scheduled for completion before the end of 2025, solidifying Gauteng’s position as a center of excellence in cancer treatment.

Advancing Cancer Treatment in Gauteng

Gauteng is challenging the status quo by proving that sustained government investment and commitment can drive local healthcare advancement through self-sufficiency and strategic development.

This strategy is evident in the pivotal roles of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH) and Steve Biko Academic Hospital (SBAH), which have housed nine state-of-the-art linear accelerators (Linacs) since 2020.

Maximizing Patient Care: The Impact of Fully Operational Linacs in Academic Hospitals

Each Linac has the potential to treat a significant number of patients per day, with the capacity to manage around 40 to 50 patients under optimal conditions, though actual numbers may vary depending on factors like treatment complexity, scheduling, and machine downtime. This translates to roughly 250 patients per week, 1,000 per month, and up to 12,000 per year under ideal circumstances.

If all four major academic hospitals (CMJAH, SBAH, DGMAH, and CHBAH) were equipped with 20 fully operational Linacs, supported by a dedicated team of professionals, they could collectively treat approximately 100,000 to 120,000 patients annually, factoring in realistic operational constraints.

Gauteng Hospital's significant progress in bridging the gap in cancer treatment and care.

Cancer, traditionally perceived as a potential death sentence, now embraces a different narrative with cutting-edge capabilities providing patients a 'life-saving advantage.' We honor the incredible strength of those who have bravely fought against cancer and extend our thoughts to the families who have shared in their loved one's journey.

We celebrate those who have emerged victorious in their battle against cancer. It's a moment to recognize the unwavering support from families, healthcare practitioners, and communities who championed, cared, and firmly believed in overcoming cancer, proving it is not a death sentence but a challenge to conquer.
