As part of National Nutrition Week (09-15 October 2026), our Nutrition / Dietetics Team hosted an awareness talk at the hospital foyer to cater for both staff and patients.

The stall created a buzz at the hospital as patients, visitors and staff were stopping by to learn more about healthy eating under this year's theme: "Creating Healthy Food Environments for Better Nutrition.”

Our dietitians shared practical tips on:
- Building a balanced, healthy plate on a budget
- Understanding food labels
- Choosing local and affordable nutritious foods
- Preventing lifestyle diseases through good nutrition

Those who participated in the activities were given seeds, as part of encouraging people to be self suficient and eat healthy from their home gardens.

Carletonville District Hospital EMBARKS ON AN EYE CARE AWERENESS AND PATIENT SCREENING CAMPAIGN.

The hospital embarks on a month-long Eye Awareness and Patient Screening campaign from Wednesday, 23 September to Saturday, 18 October 2026. This is to ensure that no one is left out because their vision matters.

This initiative ensures no one in Merafong suffers from vision loss when help is available. By catching and treating eye conditions early, the hospital can prevent avoidable blindness and completely change lives for the better.

The campaign offers eye health education, awareness talks, and free eye screening to patients and community members who visit the hospital during this period.

This drive is being done in collaboration with local stakeholders including Suid-Afrikaanse Vrouefederasie (SAVF) and other partners who share the commitment to community health and wellness using outreach services to reach even those who do not get a chance to visit the hospital.

Members of the public are encouraged to come forward and get screened.

WE MOURN ONE OF OUR OWN

This week, Carletonville Hospital mourns Mr Lefa Mokati, a security officer deployed at our hospital and one of the innocent victims of the tragic Wedela mass shooting.

Lefa was among the people who lost their lives when gunmen opened fire at a tavern in Wedela on 26 September. The death toll has since risen to 18.

For us, this is not simply another crime story.
It is the loss of one of our own.

Lefa served at Carletonville Hospital. He was part of the people who came to work every day to help keep our patients, staff and visitors safe.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and everyone who knew him.

But his death also leaves us with a difficult reality to confront.
The continuing violence associated with illegal mining and zama-zama activity, together with our broader challenges in preventing and responding to violent crime, is affecting communities across the West Rand.

Crime cannot become something we simply learn to live with.
This is bigger than one hospital, one community or one incident.

It requires communities, law enforcement, government, business and civil society to work together to create safer communities and to address the conditions that allow violent crime to take root.

As a healthcare institution, our first responsibility will always be to protect and care for life.

Today, however, we pause to remember a life that has been taken.
Rest in peace, Mr Mokati.

Your colleagues at Carletonville Hospital remember you.
May your family find strength, and may your life remind all of us that behind every statistic is a person, a family and a community that has lost someone who mattered.

Every life matters.

Good morning our beautiful Merafong Community

OUR HERITAGE IS HOW WE CARE. 🇿🇦

Heritage Day reminds us that heritage is not only about where we come from.

It is also about what we stand for — and how we treat one another.
At Carletonville District Hospital, our shared heritage is our compassion for patients.

It is the nurse who stays a little longer.
The doctor who keeps looking for an answer.

The healthcare worker who serves despite difficult circumstances.
The cleaner, porter, administrator, security officer and every member of our team who plays a part in caring for another human being.

We may face challenges. But what unites us is a common purpose: to serve our patients and our community with dignity, respect and compassion.

That is Ubuntu — I am because we are.
And it is Batho Pele — People First.

Our heritage is therefore not simply something we celebrate once a year. It is something we live every day.

To our patients, our staff and the communities we serve: thank you for being part of the Carletonville District Hospital family.
Today, we celebrate the heritage that connects us — our humanity, our compassion and our commitment to serving others.
Happy Heritage Day. 🇿🇦
