New oncology clinic opens in Springbok
Story 2
The JF Boeboe van Wyk Oncology Clinic has officially opened in Springbok, bringing cancer treatment closer to residents in the Northern Cape.
Completed in under a year through a public-private partnership, the clinic offers radiotherapy and other essential oncology services locally, reducing the need for long-distance travel and helping patients stay on schedule with treatment.
The project was supported by mining company Vedanta Zinc International through its corporate social investment programme.
Health officials say the facility strengthens healthcare access in a region that was previously underserved.
