We offer services at a PHC level in terms of women’s health, family health, paediatrics and health and rehabilitation to approximately 4000 patients every year.
SHAWCO Health co-ordinates eight student-run clinics each week in over 12 developing communities: six clinics which operate at night from Monday to Wednesday in various Cape Town communities; one paediatric clinics every month; and a Women's Health Clinic every month which serves refugees in association with the Scalibrini Centre.
Each clinic has a qualified doctor to supervise the volunteer students, and a registered dispensing nurse who oversees the clinic pharmacy. All services and treatment is offered free of charge to patients.
