TSOSELETSO HEALTHCARE CLINIC (PTY) LTD
In Galeshewe, like many other under-resourced communities, there is a significant challenge in accessing affordable, nutritious food. This lack of access leads to malnutrition, which contributes to chronic health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. These conditions are worsened by limited health literacy and a lack of understanding about the importance of proper nutrition in maintaining overall health.
