St James' Hospital and regional health care
In 1963 the Anglican Church opened, through its USPG mission agency, a mission hospital in Mantsonyane. St James' Hospital has grown significantly and is now a major feature of the community. In addition to providing full hospital facilities (with 60 beds) to local residents, the hospital also operates a number of satellite health care facilities in the surrounding region, including six health centres, one health clinic, and two rural village health posts.[1] USPG Anglican missionary medical staff and administrators operate the hospital, which also employs local nursing and domestic staff.
