The Oudtshoorn ARV Clinic developed from a small 2 room ARV consultation area into a fully-fledged ARV-Clinic, and were providing service to the population of Oudtshoorn (± 92 500) and Kannaland(± 26 000) Sub-District (100 km away). The Hospital had about 870 clients on treatment of which 10% are children, 30% are male and 60% are female. Their services cover the whole spectrum of pregnancy, children and adult care.
Our wonderful partnership with Mutual & Federal allowed us to supply this ARV Clinic with over R224 000 worth of medical equipment. This equipment was desperately needed in the diagnosing and treating of the constantly growing patient load and has had appositive impact on the staff morale. This project was one of 5 areas we targeted in our 2011 Red Ribbon Campaign.
