Members of the Chiawelo Community Practice take a group picture with the MEC for Health in Gauteng, Qedani Mahlangu. The MEC had requested a presentation by Dr Shabir Moosa on Chiawelo Community Practice (CCP) to the senior managers of Gauteng Department of Health on Wednesday 20th May 2015. She insisted that the model be rolled out to all township wards in Gauteng by March 2016. The resources required are expected to be minimal but the change management may require more effort. The MEC requested Dr Moosa to champion the WBOT in Johannesburg and join a team of champions in other Districts, Dr Victor Figeuroa and Prof Jannie Hugo, to ensure the rollout. The immediate plan was to expand CCP from just ward 11 to other wards around the CHC: Wards 10,12,13,14,15,16 & 19, setting more such community practices in the CHC and clinics around.
