FOLLOW UP: Springs Clinic has been relocated following complaints of sunken ground
Mobile clinics have been deployed to ensure patients continue receiving care during the transition.
The City of Ekurhuleni has announced that it will relocate Springs Clinic to the First Avenue Clinic.
This decision follows a site inspection conducted by the MMC for Community Services and By-Law Enforcement, Clr Siyabonga Moloi, along with the caretaker HOD for Community Services and Primary Health Care, and Lesego Sentsho.
Four mobile clinics have been stationed at the park adjacent to the Springs Clinic, from which health services will be provided in the meantime.
“Comprehensive primary healthcare services will continue uninterrupted from these mobile units until the relocation is complete,” said CoE spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.
The Springs Advertiser recently reported on a sinkhole directly in front of the clinic’s entrance, which was a safety concern for patients.
Following this, on April 17, Moloi, together with a senior official, inspected the site.
“Health services at the First Avenue Clinic will proceed without interruption, while structural integrity assessments of the original facility are underway,” added Dlamini.
