Public Clinics in Gauteng

Health tips for Gauteng

What to bring to a public clinic

1. 1
   South African ID, passport, or asylum permit

   Registration requires identification. Foreign nationals are entitled to emergency care and children to full PHC services regardless of documentation.

2. 2
   Clinic card

   Gauteng clinics are high-volume — your card helps staff pull your file quickly.

3. 3
   Road to Health booklet

   Required for children under 5 at every visit.

4. 4
   Chronic medication list

   Bring current medication, especially if transferring between facilities — duplicate prescriptions are a common problem in Gauteng.

5. 5
   Proof of address (for new registration)

   Some Gauteng clinics request this for first-time registration, though it is not legally required for care.
