Mediclinic understands that many of our communities are plagued by increasing levels of gender-based violence. Our Western Cape Emergency Centres are now empowered to assist GBV survivors with the necessary safe clinical and emotional support. If you or a loved one is experiencing any form of domestic violence, we encourage you to seek out the necessary care at one of our Emergency Centres across the Western Cape. If it is a medical emergency where an ambulance is required, please call 084 124.
