Olievenhoutbosch Clinic is a City of Tshwane primary health care clinic in Centurion, and it is the one worth knowing about in the area for a specific reason: it is open on Saturdays, while the other Centurion municipal clinics are weekdays only.
Official contact channels
- Clinic telephone: 012 358 6725
- The City of Tshwane also lists extensions 3381 and 3367 for this clinic, and 3525 for TB services
- Address: corner Legong and Rethabile Street, Olievenhoutbosch Extension 13, Centurion
- City of Tshwane switchboard: 012 358 9999, or toll-free 080 111 1556
- The city publishes a named Chief Community Health Nurse with a personal mobile number for each clinic. Those are individual staff contacts and are not reproduced here. Phone the clinic number and ask for the sister in charge
Opening hours
- Weekdays 07:30 to 16:00
- Saturdays 08:00 to 13:00
- The Saturday opening is unusual for a Tshwane clinic. Eldoraigne, Rooihuiskraal, Pierre van Ryneveld and Lyttelton are all weekday-only, so this is the Centurion clinic to use if you cannot get away during the week
- Arrive early. A municipal clinic works a queue from opening and stops taking new patients well before closing, and a four-hour Saturday fills fast
What the clinic handles
- Primary health care: chronic medicine collection, minor ailments and injuries, immunisation and family planning
- Maternal and child health, HIV services, and TB services on their own extension
- Clinics of this type do not admit patients. Anything needing admission, surgery or a specialist is referred onward
- Bring your clinic card and identity document, and the boxes of any medicine you are already taking
