HEALTH MINISTER DR ZWELI MKHIZE TO WELCOME NEW DOCTORS IN KLERKSDORP #NHINow

The National Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize will on Wednesday, 22 January welcome a new cohort of medical interns and community service doctors who have recently begun their public service in various facilities throughout North West Province

In addition the Minister will also engage doctors from the Cuban Alumni Association of South Africa which has the largest concentration of membership in the North West.

The successful placement of all medical interns is seen as a big step in the right direction as the country and particularly the North West aggressively seek to reduce shortages of doctors and increase patient-doctor contact.

The Minister will also engage nurses at the hospital whom he regards as the backbone of health service delivery, particularly as government looks to strengthening the primary health care model in preparation for the National Health Insurance.

The Media is invited to the Minister's visit as follows:
Date: Wednesday, 22 January 2020
Venue: Klerksdorp Hospital
Time: 10h00
