RABIE RIDGE – The Rabie Ridge Clinic is extending its operational hours.
The Rabie Ridge Clinic has a generator to ensure that services are not disrupted so as to cater for patient care in case of power cuts, power outages or load-shedding.
The clinic will now operate until Saturday and an extra hour has been added onto the normal operating hours, which are 7.30am till 4pm.
“Management at the facility have spoken to me about the massive challenges they face at the facility. There are massive population challenges in respect demand for the facility,” said Executive Mayor of Joburg Herman Mashaba.
