With a 23-year track record in executing capital projects, the JDA is overseeing the construction of the Turffontein Clinic on behalf of the City of Johannesburg. The clinic aims to establish new standards in patient care and occupational health and safety. Strategically located at De Villiers Street and Van Hulsteyn Street, the two-storey, 1870m² health facility will serve Turffontein, Rosettenville, Kenilworth, and neighbouring suburbs in Johannesburg south. Situated a stone’s throw from Main Street, the primary commercial thoroughfare of Rosettenville, the clinic will enjoy excellent connectivity via public and non-motorised transportation links.
Designed to meet evolving healthcare needs, the state-of-the-art clinic will feature a wide range of facilities.
These include a spacious 120-seat waiting area, 18 consulting rooms, an emergency unit, dedicated spaces for maternal and child health, counselling rooms, and specialized areas for ARV Treatment and TB therapy.
The facility will consist of six wings, catering to various medical needs, including ante-natal care, chronic conditions, administration, acute ailments, and emergencies.
?This initiative is part of the broader Health Infrastructure Upgrade Programme by the City of Johannesburg, aimed at enhancing basic health services city-wide.
Additional amenities will include an isolation room, a central pharmacy, social work counselling rooms, and ablution facilities.
The clinic’s passive design emphasizes direct linkage and integration with the De Villiers Street and Rotunda Linear Park upgrade. It incorporates a visually permeable building that will establish sightlines between the park and the clinic, enhancing passive surveillance as a safety measure.
In recent years, the JDA has successfully implemented and completed the Rotunda Linear Park project, which involved splitting a 2km stretch of De Villiers Street to create a new green public space.
Siyabonga Genu, the Executive Manager for Project Implementation, stressed the crucial role of clinics in community development.
“The completion of the Turffontein Clinic will significantly improve living standards by providing essential healthcare access to local residents.”
“Clinics are not mere buildings; they are vital pillars of community resilience and wellbeing. The Turffontein Clinic underscores our commitment to ensuring every resident has access to the healthcare they deserve, fostering a healthier and more prosperous future for all,” Genu added.
