South Africa's Minister of Health, Joe Phaahla, said that Groote Schuur, Tygerberg, Red Cross and George Regional hospitals are among the 76 health facilities in the country that have been exempt from loadshedding since September 2022.

, he was answering questions from Freedom Front MP Philip van Staden, who asked if all government hospitals and clinics in each province were exempt from loadshedding during the current Eskom crisis.

According to Phaahla, not all government facilities have been exempted from power outages, and the national Department of Health has provided Eskom with a total of 213 hospitals to be considered for possible loadshedding exemption. He also stated that the number of hospitals exempted has more than doubled since the meeting between Eskom and the national Department of Health on September 22, 2022.
