Slovo Clinic due for shutdown
Patients are encouraged to make use of the Bakerton Clinic until Slovo Clinic reopens
The metro says the Slovo Park Clinic will be closed from March 30.
This is due to the repairs of a leaking roof that are currently underway.
Due to the extent of the damage to the roof, and to ensure the safety of patients and staff, the metro says the entire roof will be replaced.

In the meantime, patients are advised to visit Bakerton Clinic.
“Health practitioners will guide patients on controlled chronic medication when they collect their three month supply of medication at Slovo Park Clinic between now and the period of closure.
“However, those patients on chronic medication who default on collection of their medication will access the services at Bakerton Clinic when they come for collection,” MMC for Health and Social Development Cllr Nomadlozi Nkosi says.
