Bluff based medical centre remains open

FOLLOWING a number of enquiries from the public, Medicross Bluff issued a statement to clarify its stance in terms of business operation.

“The medical and dental centre is open and continues to consult and treat patients. The closure of another clinic in the area, which was circulated on social media, may have led to the misunderstanding that Medicross Bluff is closed.”

“The Bluff branch, like all other medical and dental centres countrywide, has remained open to provide primary care to our patients throughout the national lockdown to date,” said managing director of Netcare’s primary care division, Dr Billy van der Merwe.
