Following shortages of linen supply due to breakdowns of the in-house laundry machines in Middelburg hospital, Mpumalanga Department of Health has taken essential steps to mitigate the disruption of linen services at hospital. It is important to note that the laundry machines at Middelburg hospital are aging and despite multiple repairs, the machines continue to fail, necessitating that some machines need complete replacement. In response to this, the department fixed some of the machines to continue to do laundry washing local. Whereas, some linen is washed at the neighbouring hospitals.
