WESTERN CAPE NEWS - The Western Cape Government is calling on health care workers to volunteer in the effort to fight the Coronavirus in the province.

Western Cape Health Minister, Nomafrench Mbombo said: "I am calling on skilled health professionals residing in the province and beyond the borders of the province, to volunteer and assist in the fight to stop the spread of Covid-19, in the Western Cape. This Covid-19 pandemic along with the pre-existing burden of disease are placing our facilities under tremendous pressure.”

Volunteer doctors, nurses and emergency medical service personnel who are not employees of the Department can help mitigate the additional pressures COVID-19 will be placing on health services, over the coming weeks and months.
