Healthcare Support Services
The basic right to proper healthcare

​We believe in healthy societies and everyone’s right to access to proper healthcare.

Mfesane's Home Community Based Care Services (HCBC) include interventions that focus on wellness, health promotion, prevention of ill health and self-management support to empower clients and/or primary caregivers to take care of their own health at home in line with the Department of Health's calendar and long-term strategy, Healthcare 2030.

We also offer a range of other preventative and care services to educate, inform and empower communities to live healthy lives.

General health screening, with a focus on HIV/AIDS, TB and diabetes

We offer comprehensive screening for health issues like blood pressure, sugar levels, tuberculosis (TB), HIV, STIs and chronic illnesses so that our community has a chance to get better before they can get too sick.

We run campaigns in communities, visit local schools and help supplement government health services. We also partner with other non profit organisation to benefit communities. Our staff are trained to assist both practically and emotionally.

COVID-19 screening and prevention

Mfesane has been working with the Department of Health to facilitate COVID-19 screening and testing. In 2021 our teams worked in partnership with the Department of Health in going door-to-door, visiting communities using the Wellness Bus and offering education and psychosocial support for both staff and communities.

Health campaigns and education

Health promotion and prevention educational talks are conducted through door-to-door visits, support groups for chronic ill patients, community outreaches and health talks in health facilities. Topics covered include Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Child Health, Chronic disease management, HIV, TB & STIs.

​Our carers teach children and families about the importance of hygiene in preventing illness. From simple tasks like washing hands, to more complicated meal planning and preparation, parenting strategies, how to set up homework help, where to register a child for school and more, we believe that giving people tools means they can help themselves and find dignity.

Home Based Care

We take care of sick people in their homes and conduct home visits for those who can’t get to a hospital or those have been de-hospitalised. Our home care teams educate families about illness and care of their loved ones, ensure that all the family is healthy, identify vulnerable individuals and children and provide access to help, training, education and medical care.
