JOHANNESBURG - Telephone lines at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital are fully functional after being offline since the weekend.
The Gauteng Department of Health said the temporary dysfunction was due to damaged optical fibre cables.
Departmental spokesperson Motalatale Modiba said technicians have resolved the issue.
“The hospitals can now receive external calls, and the public are urged to contact them through their regular numbers. We are advising the public that they can contact the facility through the normal numbers that they usually use.”
