A call by North West province communities for clinics to expand operating hours has received attention of Premier Supra Mahumapelo.
The province will soon revise the policy governing operating hours of all clinics particularly in rural areas, Premier Mahumapelo said during the delivery of his maiden State of the Province Address in Mahikeng on Friday.
A partnership with the Belgian Government for the introduction of Electronic Health Records that will see patients accessing medical records through a click a button as part of the e-health initiatives will be launched, the Premier announced.
Mahumapelo said government will be implementing and extending safety nets to orphans and vulnerable children infected and affected by HIV & AIDS and providing home community based care services to 98 140 beneficiaries.
“This will also include linking the affected and infected to poverty alleviation and psycho-social support programmes. Social mobilisation and behaviour change programmes will be rendered to 210 000 beneficiaries and 330 child and youth care workers will benefit from Isibindi programme.
A total of 79 non-profit organisations will be funded at a tune of R36 464 000 for delivering HIV & AIDS social protection services,” he said.
