Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Development Planning Eunice Mgcina expressed optimism about the new clinic’s positive impact on residents.
“The completion of the clinic is a testament to the city’s commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure that serves our communities.
“With the construction phase now finalised by the JDA, we are ready to hand over this facility for operational use, ensuring residents have access to essential healthcare services,” said Mgcina.
With 18 consultation rooms, including support buildings, the new clinic will be capable of accommodating larger volumes of patients and providing a wider range of services. The completion of this facility is the first of the JDA’s One Month, One Capex project campaign.
As part of the next steps, Mgcina has formally notified the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Health and Social Development, Ennie Makhafola, of the project’s completion.
