Joburg city extends service hours at primary health care facilities

The City of Joburg on Wednesday announced that it has extended hours of service at four primary health care facilities.

“The roll-out of this program has given hope to our residents that indeed a day will come when we will throw away the keys to all our clinics. With the support and dedication of the City’s Health and Social Development team the current administration has managed to extend this generous offering to 26 of our clinics, and the plan is to bring this number to 36 by the end of the 2019/20 financial year,” said Phalatse.

The MMC said a total of 704 emergencies were seen during the rolled out extended hours, including respiratory distress, pneumonia, asthma, vomiting and dehydration, maternal, PV bleeding, miscarriages, pre-eclampsia, birth before arrival, post-partum hemorrhage; injuries post motor vehicle accident, assaults, stab wounds, burns, paraffin poisoning/ingestion and dog bites.
