Phelophepa health train

Post by John Ashworth »

From sar-L 14/12/07
Roger Robert Darsley wrote:The national 'Free' paper in the UK had a full page on the Phelophepa health train on 13th December 2007. Full of praise for the 1994 initiative of Transnet's Dr Lynette Coetzee whose vision it was. It runs 36 weeks of the year with 5 days at each stop with 19 staff and 36 final year medical students treating 1000 people a week. The 16 coach train is now being followed by a second Phelophepa 2 which will be ready in 2009
Another bit of positive news about South African railways.
