Oxford Road Day Clinic

Running a day clinic in Soweto means managing a constant flow of patients with diverse needs and managing it around load shedding realities. Oxford Road Day Clinic operates in an area where infrastructure constraints shape how healthcare actually gets delivered—refrigeration for vaccines and medications needs backup power, patient records systems must be resilient, and staff rosters need flexibility when the grid goes down. Emergency cases don't wait for power to return, so protocols for off-grid triage and medication storage become part of daily practice. The clinic also navigates high foot traffic from neighbouring residential areas, meaning triage efficiency and infection control require particular attention. Working in this environment demands clinical staff who understand both medical protocols and the practical realities of delivering care when systems aren't guaranteed to run uninterrupted.
