Much needed health services are being brought closer to the farming and peri-urban areas of the Western Cape, through a multi-million rand mobile clinic launched by the University of the Western Cape (UWC).
The University’s Faculty of Community and Health Sciences says the state-of-the-art mobile clinic will at the same time offer its students the opportunity to receive training in a community setting.
A fully-fledged clinic on wheels with the ability to reach far flung areas and communities, which struggle to access health services. UWC Rector and Vice Chancellor, Prof Tyrone Pretorius, says this is another one of their projects in serving particularly marginalised communities.
