    FLORIDA CLINIC TO OPEN ITS DOORS IN 2020

    The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA), on behalf of City of Johannesburg, has


    been implementing the construction of the upgraded Florida Clinic health care facility in
    Florida, Roodeport.

    Two adjacent houses, located on Madeleine street, were earmarked for the development
    and demolished to make way for the modern healthcare facility, which is designed to
    effectively and efficiently meet the growing healthcare needs of the local community.

    Once completed, the healthcare facility will consist of 18 consulting rooms, an emergency
    and stabilisation unit, a mother and child section, counselling rooms, a group room for ARV
    Treatment and TB therapy, a testing facility and antenatal care. The clinic will also have a
    central pharmacy, social work counselling rooms and ablution facilities.

    Directors
    M Ntanga (Chairperson) D Cohen (Acting CEO) S Moonsamy (CFO) S Jensma TG Sambo JW Karuri -Sebina EF Peters K Govender A Steyn P Zagaretos R Shirinda (Company Secretary)
    Registration Number: 2001/005101/07
    “The upgraded healthcare facility will provide access to quality primary healthcare to the
    more than 30 000 residents in Ward 70. If our residents are healthy, they are able to work,
    earn a living and contribute to the growth of our economy,” Member of Mayoral Committee
    for Health and Social Development, Dr. Mpho Phalatse said.

    This construction also plays a role in job creation and skills development, with 30% of the
    contract value being awarded to SMME’s in Ward 70, and the appointment and training of
    local labourers from the same ward.

    “Florida Clinic has, for a long time, been one of the City’s health care facilities which were
    due for redevelopment, and as the City, we are pleased to be in a position to provide
    suitable facilities that cater to the needs of the community,” said Cllr Reuben Masango,
    Member of the Mayoral Committee for Development Planning.

    The clinic, located in Region C, is anticipated to be completed in January 2020, after the
    contractual agreement with the previous contractor was terminated by the JDA, due to
    failure to execute the works in accordance with the construction programme. The newly
    appointed contractor took occupation of the site on 18 June 2019.
