Witkoppen Clinic launches Winter Warmer Campaign to support underserved communities
Witkoppen Clinic has launched its second annual Winter Warmer Campaign, a heartfelt initiative aimed at bringing warmth, comfort, and care to patients and participants from underserved communities.
The campaign, which runs throughout the cold months, calls on the community to donate essential items, such as warm blankets, gently-used clothing, non-perishable food parcels, and other miscellaneous essentials.
According to Sbonga Shange, the clinic's business development assistant, the campaign is part of their mission to provide excellent, patient-focused healthcare and social services, which respond to the real needs of the community.

'We believe that everyone deserves access to quality care, regardless of their background or circumstances,' said Shange. 'With your help, we can ensure that no one faces this winter alone.'
Last year, the clinic collected and distributed over 250 blankets, and 100 beanies and scarves, from various organisations and individuals. 'We have been blown away by the response from our community. The outpouring of support from donors and supporters has been incredible. We understand that many patients come early to brave the cold weather, making it essential to provide warmth and comfort.'
Shange said the primary focus has always been empowerment and betterment of the community, providing excellent patient-centric primary healthcare, and social services, in response to the needs of the community, especially those without medical insurance.

'We are proud to be making a difference in the lives of those around us. The clinic has partnered with the Love Light Care Foundation, Cedar Lakes Care, and Adcock Ingram to amplify the campaign's impact. These organisations have been instrumental in supporting us, and our patients, throughout this campaign.'
