The provincial Health MEC, Maruping Lekwene, says the opening of the R35,6 million clinic comes as a relief to the community of Heuningvlei as they often have to travel over 100km to have excess to better healthcare services.
Lekwena adds that two clinics are under construction and will be open before the end of the current financial year. The broader strategy is to open community healthcare centres in local municipalities, which will serve as referral points from community healthcare centres to hospitals.
