Private clinic offers affordable healthcare for its community
Only 16% of South Africans can afford private healthcare, and many low-income earners cannot afford healthcare and must rely on community clinics. These facilities are under intense pressure as they often cannot cope with the demand.

However, things could change if the pioneering efforts of a dedicated nurse with the financial backing of Standard Bank reach their full national potential.
