We are certain that these donations will make a welcome addition to the healthcare system and would like to thank the DTTC for their donation,\u201d said Mayoral Committee Member for Health, Councillor Lungiswa James. <\/p>\n<p>The donation includes Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) sets which will improve the quality of treatment given at the City\u2019s clinics. <\/p>\n<p>The DTTC also agreed to install the ENT sets, along with 18 X-ray viewing boxes that will help ensure increased efficiency within the healthcare system. <\/p>\n<p>There are minimal costs associated with the donation, which will be absorbed into City Health\u2019s budget. <\/p>\n<p>PEPFAR is the cornerstone and largest component of the U.S. President\u2019s Global Health Initiative. With a special focus on improving the health of women, newborns and children, the Global Health Initiative\u2019s goal is to save the greatest number of lives by increasing and building upon what works and, then, supporting countries as they work to improve the health of their own people. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitiatives like this assist the City in making the health system work better for the people of Cape Town,\u201d said Cllr James. <\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Desmond Tutu Centre(DTTC), under the mandate of their President\u2019s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief Project (PEPFAR) has donated medical equipment to the value of some R340 000,00 to the City of Cape Town. \u201cIn keeping with our goal of building a Caring City committed to redress and the rectification of historical imbalances, we appreciate [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[25,1737,77],"class_list":{"0":"post-14086","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-south-africa","7":"tag-cape-town-2","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-municipality","10":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14086\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
