As part of the initiative to provide holistic care to patients including access to nutritious food, the Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) in partnership with a multitude of organisations including Non-profit institutions, Community based structures, private sector companies and Clinics Committees, will launch the “One Clinic, One Garden" initiative which aims to establish a garden in every clinic across Gauteng province.
The initiative has four key areas which includes establishing clinic gardens, providing nutrition education, offering gardening therapy for patients and promoting community involvement through gardening activities. These efforts are done in collaboration with clinic staff and community members.
MEC for Health and Wellness, Nomantu Nkomo Ralehoko will tomorrow, 13 June 2025, lead the Turning of the Soil Ceremony to mark this initiative at Laudium Community Health Centre.
On the sideline of the ceremony, the MEC will launch the "I Serve With A Smile" campaign – a movement that seeks to mobilise healthcare workers to serve with compassion, empathy, respect to improve patients experiences and outcomes across Gauteng's healthcare system.
Members of the media are invited to cover the event. Details are as follows:
