The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) management and board wish to inform the general public that Gerehu General Hospital has been forced to temporarily close due to severe flooding following heavy rainfall over the weekend.
The hospital is currently closed to the public while our management and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) teams work on thoroughly disinfecting and restoring the facility.
While cleanup and restoration efforts are underway, all patients and guardians are advised to seek medical attention at other clinics around the city. Gerehu Hospital staff have been redeployed to the following clinics to continue providing care:
ï‚· Metoeia Clinic
ï‚· Tokarara Clinic
ï‚· Morata Clinic
ï‚· Gordons Clinic
ï‚· 6-Mile Polyclinic
ï‚· St. Theresa Clinic
Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Robin Oge assures all stakeholders, patients, and the general public that this closure is a result of a natural disaster. He further emphasized that the management team is working diligently to address the situation and ensure the hospital reopens safely and promptly.
Dr. Oge anticipates that Gerehu General Hospital will resume services later this week. In the meantime, patients are encouraged to visit the nearest health facilities within NCD for their medical needs.
