JOHANNESBURG - Life Healthcare has plans to build a 140-bed hospital in Paarl, Western Cape.
It's part of the hospital group's strategy to grow its footprint across the country.
The group released its interim results on Thursday.
Revenue from continuing operations increased by 8.1 percent to R12.1-billion for the six months ended 31 March.
The group benefited from the growth of paid patient days and an overall increase in demand for its services, including mental health.
The group says Life Paarl Valley Hospital will create jobs in the construction sector and employ doctors and nurses.
