HOUT BAY VALLEY CLINIC TO OPEN IN NOVEMBER

Preparations for the newly built Hout Bay Valley clinic are underway. Western Cape Health Department spokesperson, Natalie Watlington, said that details of the services from the facility will be known at a later stage.

Watlington assured Hout Bay residents that the department is committed to bring healthcare services to the community and the surrounding areas.

Residents of Hout Bay were truculent after the Hangberg day hospital was closed down last month, following violent community protests that broke out in the area, resulting in staff members not gaining access to their place of work.

The Department of Health notified a Hout Bay community activist that a polyclinic would be built in the area offering both primary and specialist healthcare options.
