MPH HOSTS EMOTIONAL YET SUCCESSFUL LEKGOTLA
Mahikeng Provincial Hospital successfully hosted its 2025 Lekgotla from Wednesday, 25 June to Friday, 27 June. This critical three-day strategic gathering brought together hospital leadership and managers under one roof to evaluate progress, confront challenges and map a way forward for improved service delivery and patient care.
The Lekgotla followed a rigorous two-day pre-Lekgotla session where unit managers deliberated on key priorities in preparation for the main event. This preparatory phase ensured a shared vision and sharpened the focus areas for discussion during the Lekgotla itself. At the main Lekgotla, commissions were formed, each comprising managers from nursing, supply chain, finance and human resources. These commissions worked diligently throughout the sessions, engaging in honest reflection, robust debate and solution-driven planning.
A powerful moment of reflection marked the second day of the Lekgotla, as the team learned of the passing of one of its own, Sr. Taku, a devoted and respected Paediatric & Neonatal AD who served MPH with unwavering dedication. The atmosphere turned sombre as colleagues paused to remember her legacy and honour her contribution to the hospital. Her memory added an emotional depth to the proceedings, reminding all present of the human heart behind the healthcare system.
On Friday, the sessions closed with final commissions presentations, charting clear priorities, timelines and accountability structures to ensure implementation.
we also extend heartfelt appreciation to the various stakeholders who contributed to the success of this Lekgotla with their generous acts of support helping create a warm and professional environment for engagement. Their contributions not only alleviated logistical burdens but also demonstrated a shared commitment to strengthening public healthcare services in our community.
The 2025 Lekgotla not only shaped a strategic path, but also reinforced the unity and resilience of our managers committed to navigating the future together, both in grief and in hope.
