Western Cape premier Alan Winde at the entrance of the newly built Hornlee Clinic.
A state-of-the-art, 48.7 million rand medical facility has officially opened its doors in Hornlee, marking a major milestone in the Western Cape Government’s drive to deliver dignified, high-quality healthcare to growing communities.
The new Hornlee Clinic replaces an outdated facility that had become severely overwhelmed by the area's rapidly expanding medical needs, struggling to cope with more than 30,000 patient visits every year.
Built on the site of the former Knysna Municipality taxi rank, the expansive replacement facility has been designed from the ground up to eliminate overcrowding, safeguard patient privacy, and provide a welcoming environment for local families.
Speaking at the official opening ceremony, Premier Alan Winde emphasised that investing in healthcare infrastructure remains a cornerstone of provincial strategy.
