Clinic or community health centre

A clinic runs nurse-led primary care during office hours: chronic medicine, minor ailments, immunisation, family planning, HIV and TB services and antenatal care
A community health centre like Maluti is bigger, usually open longer, and typically has a doctor on some days and maternity services
Neither admits patients for surgery. Taylor Bequest Hospital on Main Street in Matatiele is the district hospital for the town, and is also where the Matatiele Thuthuzela Care Centre for survivors of sexual assault is based
If you are told to come back with a referral letter, that letter comes from the clinic, so start at the clinic rather than at the hospital gate

Getting seen

Bring your clinic card, ID and any medicine boxes you are already on. A repeat script cannot be issued without knowing the current dose
Arrive early. Rural clinics work a queue from opening and stop taking new patients well before closing
Chronic medication can often be collected without a full consultation once you are stable on treatment. Ask about the collection arrangement rather than queueing monthly
In an emergency do not go to the clinic. Call 10177 for an ambulance or 112 from a cellphone
