Volunteer to serve on Bluff clinic committee
THE Bluff Primary Healthcare (PHC) Clinic needs two volunteer positions available. Representation from the elderly and disabled community members is urged.
Clinic committees are health governance structures which were created to provide an avenue for communities to give input and feedback into the planning, delivery and organisation of health services and perform oversight in the development and implementation of health policies and provision of equitable health services.
Legislated by the National Health Act of 2003, the committees are made up of a combination of community and civil society representatives and health professionals in each area. They allow community concerns to be elevated through the structures, from local to district to provincial and finally to national level.
The recently formed Bluff (ward 66) clinic committee has two volunteer positions available.

- Are you a Bluff (ward 66) resident?
- Are you passionate about your beautiful suburb?
- Do you want to make a difference in your community?
