Ikhwezi Clinic

Running a clinic in Strand involves understanding the practical realities of healthcare delivery in a coastal town. Ikhwezi Clinic manages patient flow across seasons—busier in summer when visitors arrive, quieter in winter—while maintaining consistent stock of essential medicines and equipment. Like all clinics in the Western Cape, they navigate the paperwork: medical aid billing through Elixir and other practice management systems, SARS compliance, and the coordination needed to refer patients to Somerset Hospital when specialist care is required. The nursing staff manages everything from wound care to antenatal checks, often being the first point of contact for people seeking medical guidance in the community.
