Daveyton Clinic ensures the well-being of community
The mine spent in excess of R22-million to construct the clinic and its various facilities.
In 2015, Gold One mine constructed the Daveyton East Medical Clinic as part of the Modder East Operation’s social and labour plan commitment to the South African Department of Mineral Resources.
The mine initially wanted to construct the clinic closer to the mine to afford healthcare to the miners, but had to settle on Daveyton where it has become a huge success.
The mine spent in excess of R22-million to construct the clinic and its various facilities.
The majority of employees from Gold One mine live in Daveyton and it is therefore also an effort to ensure the well-being of the miners.

The clinic offers HIV/Aids care and many other healthcare solutions that are available for the whole community.
According to an article written by African Reporter, the clinic serves up to 8 000 patients and employs 70 nursing staff.
At the mine itself, Gold One also ensures the well-being of their employees with an underground ambulance which is always on standby for any medical emergency.
In more serious cases, miners can be airlifted to the nearest hospital.
Since 2015, the clinic is still going strong and continues to provide healthcare, aid and employment for the Daveyton community and the miners from Gold One Mine.
