The City of Cape Town officially opened the Vincent Community Health Centre in Belhar following much needed renovations.

The more than 25-year centre sees on average 585 clients on a daily basis who access a range of services relating to maternal and child health, HIV, STI’s TB and also deals with mental health issues.

Mayor Patricia de Lille Spokesperson Zara Nicholson said this investment of more than R8, 2 million was spent for the addition of a paediatric wing, an upgraded TB section, and the complete renovation and upgrade of the reception area.

“In addition, we constructed a staff room and new ablution facilities for clients, replaced the old asbestos roof as well as the seating in the waiting areas, and repainted and re-tiled the entire clinic.


The Mayor has appealed to the community of Belhar to take ownership of this facility and help in protecting it from vandalism and thieves,” Nicholson added.
