Witkoppen Clinic
The Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre, often referred to simply as Witkoppen Clinic, is a non-profit community healthcare center located in Fourways, Johannesburg, South Africa. [1]The clinic began in 1946 and provides a wide range of primary healthcare services to communities around Sandton and Diepsloot.[2][3]
Witkoppen Clinic is widely recognized for its innovative approaches to healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings for its work in combating HIV/AIDS, promoting maternal health, and addressing the social determinants of health in underprivileged communities.[4][5]
History
[edit]The Witkoppen Clinic was founded in the 1940s as a small rural health service, responding to the needs of marginalized populations who lacked access to formal healthcare facilities. Over the years, it has evolved into a full-service clinic with a strong emphasis on providing holistic care. Its growth has been supported by partnerships with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and international donors, all united in addressing the pressing health disparities in South Africa.[6][7]
