City clinics beef up services for the youth
People’s Post Claremont & Rondebosch
|June 17, 2025
All City clinics offer youth-specific services to encourage young people to invest in their health and well-being.
-
While services can be accessed at any time, designated hours of 14:00 to 16:00 were introduced some years ago, specifically for adolescents.
More recently, seven clinics have established youth zones - offering dedicated waiting and treatment areas.
These clinics are Lentegeur, Dr Ivan Toms, Delft South, Bloekombos, Wallacedene, Langa and Ikhwezi.
Youth zone readiness assessments are underway at 11 more clinics, including Adriaanse, St. Vincent, Albow Gardens, Elsies River, Manenberg, Masincedane, Vuyani, Gugulethu, Matthew Goniwe, Wesbank and Sarepta.
