Welcome to South Africa
Sister Carolus of Hout Bay Clinic
At 4.00pm on 25 November 2009, after two years of hard work by both the twinned clubs of Rotary Club of Coolamon and Rotary Club of Hout Bay, everything came to fruition with the opening of the completely re-furbished and extended Main Road Clinic in Hout Bay. This will enable the small of the clinicto seriously begin the fight back on HIV/Aids and TB in the nearby poverty-ridden shack township of Imizamo Yethu. Over 4,500 patient calls a month are handled by Sister Carolus (above) in what has been difficult conditions.
Dr Ivan Bromfield, on the left above, City of Cape Town Director of Health, who officiated and seen here with clinic staff, said it was a "wonderful example of international communities and Rotary working together to save lives". In the centre is Sister Esther Carolus, sister-in-charge of the clinic, who worked with the Rotary team during the whole re-building and re-equipping process.
Current President of Rotary Hout Bay, Joe Schwach, performed the opening ceremony with Dr Ivan Bromfield and the City's Director of HIV/Aids Karen Jennings and the the Regional Director of Health, Lumke Bakana. The event was attended by well over 100 people represented all walks of life in the Hout Bay community. Go to BIG DAY FOR COOLAMON posting on your right.
