CLOSURE OF KHUTSONG WEST CLINIC @KASIBCNEWS

 The Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) wishes to inform Khutsong community of the indefinite closure of Khutsong West Clinic with effect from 01 May 2025. This decision follows ongoing geotechnical challenges caused by active sinkhole activity in the Khutsong West area which poses serious safety risks for both healthcare users and staff members. 

The safety and wellbeing of the community and employees remain the department’s high priority. Patients who previously accessed services at Khutsong West Clinic are advised to visit any of the following nearby facilities for uninterrupted primary healthcare services which are mainly within 6km radius from Khutsong West Clinic: • Khutsong Community Health Centre • Khutsong South clinic • Khutsong Extension 3 clinic • Khutsong East clinic • Welverdiend clinic To ensure seamless continuity of care, patients are kindly requested to bring valid identification documents (ID, passport, or driver’s licence) and inform staff at the alternative clinic that they are former patients of Khutsong West Clinic. 

This will enable linking them with their medical records for ongoing treatment and follow-up. In addition, the Ward-Based Primary Health Care Outreach Teams will continue to operate and provide services in the Khutsong West area to reach those who may have difficulties accessing alternative facilities. 

The current staff at Khutsong West Clinic will be re assigned to the nearby health facilities.
