Mobile Health Care Clinic South Africa

Health Care for the Midvaal Area

The Heineken Africa Foundation has joined forces with the Midvaal Local Municipality to provide a mobile health clinic ensuring basic health care is widely available in the Midvaal Municipal area. The Sedibeng Brewery is responsible for the maintenance of the mobile clinic to ensure it provides a reliable service.

The mobile clinic aims to reach vulnerable groups and patients who have difficulty getting to and from established clinics. Most of these people live in informal settlements in a distance of over 15 kilometres from an established clinic.

The vehicle is equipped to dispense general health services including prenatal care, family planning, well-child services, youth care, chronic diseases treatment, acute primary care, as well as HIV Counselling and Testing and the distribution of anti-retroviral medication. It is expected to benefit approximately 1,250 patients a month.
