The De Deur Health Centre has been inundated with calls and patients since opening its doors four years ago. The centre, in the Vaal, is South Africa’s first to cater for female patients struggling with drug abuse. Being outpatient in nature means that patients commute there daily. But, renovations are underway and once that is done and the centre, run by Crescent of Hope – a Muslim organisation – secures the necessary regulatory approval from health officials, it will operate around the clock.
