Hospital operations in Pretoria contend with Gauteng's unpredictable power supply, high patient volumes from surrounding areas, and the logistics of moving patients between different care levels. Managing acute cases means maintaining backup systems for operating theatres, reliable refrigeration for blood products, and communication networks that don't fail when load shedding hits. The infrastructure behind a functioning hospital—generators, water systems, waste management—operates invisibly but determines whether emergency protocols hold up when they're needed most.
