In-store clinics are being rolled out across the Dis-Chem Baby City network, filling the much-needed gap for integrated primary healthcare that straddles the public and private sectors.

“Mother and baby wellness is a critical component of primary healthcare and antenatal and postnatal care for mothers and babies. We can’t ignore the fact that the public healthcare service is overburdened, yet millions of South Africans cannot afford private healthcare.

Dis-Chem and Baby City clinics offer cradle-to-grave primary healthcare. It starts with the clinic as the first contact point for basic health issues, offering a broad range of health services such as blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol testing, HIV testing and basic laboratory testing. The Dis-Chem Baby City clinics offer 2D sonars, a valuable assessment tool to monitor overall foetal health, at all Baby City clinics nationwide, performed by clinic sisters trained and accredited to perform 2D sonar screening.
