These are the services Riverlea Clinic offers
Awareness of a healthy lifestyle.
The Riverlea Clinic held an open day with a theme of ‘awareness of a healthy lifestyle’ on March 14. According to Florence Mosiane, the operational manager of the Riverlea Clinic, an open day at the clinic is just an awareness day for the residents to know what kind of services they offer at the Riverlea Clinic.
“We also have our referrals where we would refer the patient to the social worker, we also have the Langlaagte police station that will assist with domestic violence and so on, it’s actually a day where we make them aware of all the services that are around us too.
“Today is mostly health awareness and how does one improve their lifestyles, especially with the pandemic of listeriosis, we also called the environmental health officers to explain to the residents in terms of that illnesses, we speak about what type of symptoms they must be aware of, and we also doing TB awareness.
