DUT homoeopathy clinic offers free services to public
To commemorate World Homoeopathy Week, the Department of Homoeopathy in the Faculty of Health Sciences at DUT will open its clinic at no cost to the public.
THE DUT Homoeopathic Community Health Centre at the Ritson campus in Durban will offer free services to the public from Monday, April 7 to Friday, April 11.
Throughout the week, DUT senior homoeopathy students, under the supervision of registered homoeopathic practitioners, will conduct free consultations, physical examinations and essential health tests, including blood sugar testing, urine analysis, blood pressure checks and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments.
According to Dr Shraddha Sirpal, a specialist lab technician at the Department of Homoeopathy, World Homoeopathy Week is a global celebration that honours the birth of Dr Samuel Hahnemann, the visionary founder of homoeopathy.
“Born on 10 April 1755 in Germany, Dr Hahnemann was far ahead of his time. Disillusioned by the harsh and often ineffective medical practices of his era, he sought a safe, gentle and holistic approach to healing, one that treats the root cause of the disease rather than just its symptoms. By using highly diluted natural substances, homoeopathy stimulates the body’s healing ability, restoring balance on physical, mental, and emotional levels,” explained Dr Sirpal.

Through this initiative, DUT hopes to build a bridge between homoeopathy and the public, promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of this natural form of medicine.
The DUT Homoeopathic Community Health Centre offers detailed consultations, physical examination and diagnostic testing, personalised homoeopathic treatments, referral to other healthcare professionals and biopuncture, a homoeopathic pain management therapy.
The free services will be available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 08:30 to 12:30, and Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30 to 16:30. For smooth and efficient service, bookings are recommended via WhatsApp on 072 894 6565. The entrance is at Gate 6, Steve Biko Road.
