Soshanguve's Block JJ Clinic is currently facing a severe water shortage, which significantly impacts the delivery of essential medical services and compromises the healthcare of numerous residents. Consequently, the clinic has been forced to turn away patients, including children, with some advised to return only once the water supply is restored, reportedly by Monday. The clinic's interim approach of admitting sick children in small groups of three has proven ineffective due to prolonged waiting periods and limited capacity, resulting in many families leaving without receiving the urgent care they require.
