Support for the Transnet Phelophepa, a medical train in South Africa
The name “Phelophepa” is painted in red letters on each of the train’s 16 cars. A mix of Tswana and Sotho dialects, “Phelophepa” means “good health”.
The program’s goal is to provide a modern and economical healthcare system to the most disadvantaged people in the nation’s poorest, most remote areas. Inside, are an ophthalmology clinic, six dentist offices, a psychology ward and a pharmacy. The facilities are managed by a team of 16 permanent physicians who oversee approximately 40 medical interns.
