The Victor Daitz foundation mobile clinic, has indeed made an impact in service delivery to people visiting primary health care clinics. In partnership with the UGU District Department of Health we assist four overburdened primary healthcare clinics in our area.
The services we provide are:
We are so proud of our mobile clinic. We have managed to build good relationships with all the clinics and with our patients, who often seek us out. A special thank you to Sr. Babongile Cele from the Department of Health who facilitated this valuable partnership.
HIGHLIGHTS/ SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS
We have assisted the Department of Health with their outreach and awareness campaigns:
We have really taken the early detection of cancer to our hearts and we are now finding that our female patients wait especially for us in order for us to do the screening. The holistic approach, the compassionate and caring manner in which we treat all our patients ensures their dignity and this is what sets us apart.
The mobile clinic has proven to be a cost effective method of reaching a great number of patients whilst still providing Quality Palliative Care. A second mobile clinic and team would be valuable and serve our community well.
