Lyttelton Clinic is a City of Tshwane primary health care clinic in Centurion. One practical detail matters more than the address: the clinic is on the corner of Basden and Rabie, but the entrance is in Clifton Avenue, which is where people arriving for the first time usually go wrong.

What a municipal clinic handles
- Primary health care: chronic medication collection, minor ailments and injuries, immunisation and family planning
- Maternal and child health, and HIV and TB services
- Clinics of this type do not admit patients. Anything needing admission, surgery or a specialist is referred onward
- Arrive early. Municipal clinics work through a queue from opening, and a 16:00 close means the queue is usually capped well before then
