Sasol Petroleum Temane awards tender for clinic in Vilanculos<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

SOS Netcare 911 recently opened a new clinic in the Mozambican coastal town of Vilanculos, having been awarded a tender to provide private medical care for Sasol employees and paid-for services to other members of the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nhamacunda Clinic, which is located in Vilanculos, where Sasol Petroleum Temane\u2019s (SPT) employees reside, offers comprehensive general practitioner and dental services, as well as occupational health assessments,\u201d explains Netcare 911\/SOS Servi\u00e7os de Assist\u00eancia Limitada network manager, Grace Barradas.<\/p>\n

The clinic opened in March this year and brought a range of new services to the town, including pathology and radiology services, and a dispensary. It is also equipped with two wards comprising six beds for patients who require observation and overnight stays.<\/p>\n

Doctors and staff at the clinic are drawn from both South Africa and Mozambique and there are also a number of employment opportunities for people from the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cSPT employees and the public are able to access vaccinations and prophylaxis at the clinic, as well as ultrasound scans, X-rays and occupational health assessments including audiometry, spirometry and electrocardiography (ECG) in a modern setting. The clinic also offers first aid training by arrangement, so that the members of the public can learn the basics of dealing with medical emergencies,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmergency medicine in the area has also received a boost with the introduction of Netcare 911 ambulance services and a 24-hour emergency room. The clinic\u2019s in-patient services are intended for medical emergencies only, so that patients can be stabilised and receive short-term care while medical emergency road or air evacuation to an appropriate facility is arranged for further defined treatment,\u201d Barradas notes.<\/p>\n

Managing director of Netcare 911, Noeleen Phillipson, welcomed the opening of the Nhamacunda Clinic. \u201cThe fulfillment of the SPT tender for operating this clinic represents another step forward in Netcare 911\u2019s commitment to providing world-class medical services to companies and people outside of South Africa. It is our privilege to assist the SPT staff and their families, as well as members of the public, through offering a range of quality health services in this picturesque remote location.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish the doctors, staff and patients of Nhamacunda Clinic all the very best in the years ahead, and trust that this new facility will contribute to the wellbeing of all who live in the community,\u201d Phillipson concluded.<\/p>\n
