Government employees in the Sedibeng Region were given access to a range of health and wellness services during an annual Health and Wellness Expo held at Heidelberg Hospital on September 30.
The initiative, led by the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development Sedibeng Region, also provided an opportunity to strengthen working relations with the Gauteng Department of Health.
Employees from both departments participated in the programme and accessed various health screenings and professional services aimed at promoting preventative healthcare and general wellbeing.
Services available during the expo included dental screening and treatment, audiology, chiropractic services, physiotherapy, podiatry and optometry, among others.
