Handover ceremony in Gcina will include community services
Representatives of the ECDOH, CBOs and communities are expected to attend. In addition, various medical services will be offered to the Gcina community in partnership with local healthcare providers. These services will include diabetes and hypertension screening, dental services, eye care services, HIV and TB screening and testing, minor ailments treatment, immunisation, cervical cancer screening, family planning, as well as health education talks.
“This event is meant to recognise the fruitful collaborations we have had and the impact thereof of all the effort put in by MSF and DOH together in ensuring communities get services closer to their communities and get patient-centric care for chronic diseases, including NCDs, thereby reiterating in practice the DOH priority of integrated chronic disease care,” says Manighandan Sivaramakrishnan, country co-ordinator for MSF in South Africa.
