Public Clinics in Eastern Cape

Health tips for Eastern Cape

What to bring to a public clinic

1. 1
   South African ID or passport

   Required for registration. No one will be turned away without ID, but it speeds up the process.

2. 2
   Clinic card (patient-held record)

   Your green clinic card tracks your visit history. If you have lost it, ask the clinic to issue a new one.

3. 3
   Road to Health booklet

   Mandatory for all children under 5. Tracks immunisations, growth, and developmental milestones.

4. 4
   Chronic medication list or pill bottles

   If you take chronic medication, bring the packaging or a list of names and dosages so the clinician can check for interactions.

5. 5
   Referral letter (if applicable)

   District hospitals require a referral from a clinic or CHC unless it is an emergency.
