A real need for free, quality medical care

The Ramakrishna Centre conducts free community medical clinics throughout KwaZulu-Natal.

Despite the pouring rain, muddy pathways and leaking roofs of Radha Roopsingh Primary School, hundreds of desperate Etete residents sought free medical help on Sunday.

The normally dilapidated classrooms were spruced up and turned into medical wards, a pharmacy and windows were covered with newspapers to guarantee the dignity of the 407 people, including the 122 children and 160 optometry patients amongst other specialties that were offered by the Ramakrishna clinic volunteers.

One of the residents, Sindisiwe Hlatshwayo, praised the work done by the doctors.

“I have been to these clinics three times and not once did I go home without getting the help I needed and their medication was good. I pray that God bless them and grant them with more wisdom in their work. What they are doing is very helpful to us,” Hlatshwayo.
