Paediatric Wellness Clinic

HIV Care & Treatment for Infants and Children

PHRU has been at the forefront of paediatric treatment in South Africa since we hosted our first trials in 1996. In 2001, PHRU established a treatment access programme to continue the care for children who were completing their enrollment in research studies and those who failed to meet eligibility criteria to enroll in trials. Since then, every day our staff sees patients at the Paediatric Wellness Clinic, a PEPFAR-funded state-of-the-art clinic situated at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital where we continue to offer care, treatment, and support to Sowetan children and their families.

The clinic is child-friendly with a fenced children’s playground, an immunization facility, early infant testing and developmental testing services.
