Clinic services resume after flooding in Ga-Rankuwa.
This comes after Ga-Rankuwa’s Phedisong 4 Clinic in Tshwane was forced to close temporarily on Monday following heavy rains that caused flooding.
The downpour began on Sunday afternoon and caused water to seep into the facility through the doors, leading to a temporary closure.
According to the Gauteng Department of Health, the clinic was closed for three hours to allow for a cleanup, assessment of the impact, and planning for necessary repairs.
Images and reports shared on social media highlighted the extent of the flooding.
Speaking to The Citizen on Wednesday, department spokesperson Motalatale Modiba confirmed that operations at the Phedisong 4 clinic resumed on the same day.
“There was a diversion of emergency clients to Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital and facility referrals by medical staff to ensure continuity of quality healthcare,” he said.
Residents affected by the Rosslyn Clinic closure are advised to visit the designated alternative clinics until services resume.
