The ASM Clinic has been providing compassionate, quality primary health care to vulnerable communities in Mpumalanga since 1990. Established as a ministry of Africa School of Missions (ASM), the Clinic became an independent Non-Profit Company (NPC) in January 2018 to strengthen its governance, sustainability and long-term impact.
For more than three decades the Clinic has remained committed to serving people who experience barriers to accessing public health services because of poverty, distance, unemployment or other social circumstances.
Services provided are supplementary to existing services provided in government clinics and mobile clinics. Today, the ASM Clinic operates from three service locations near White River and provides comprehensive primary health care to approximately 7,400 patients each year.
- PEEBLES FARM: Consultations are conducted Monday to Friday mornings at the Peebles Clinic, that borders on Masoyi the rural area near White River. This is also the centre of administration and serves as the point from which the Msholozi and Londolozi health outreaches are managed.
- MSHOLOZI TOWNSHIP: On Thursdays a large team of staff and volunteers hold a mobile clinic outreach at Msholozi, a rapidly growing informal township on the outskirts of White River. Since July 2023 these outreaches are conducted at the permanent ASM Clinic site.
- LONDOLOZI GAME RESERVE: On Saturdays a different team of volunteers conduct a health outreach to Londolozi. Healthcare services are provided to staff working extended shifts who would otherwise struggle to attend government clinics during working cycles.
The ASM Clinic believes that every person is created in the image of God and deserves compassionate care, regardless of race, nationality, religion or ability to pay. Our Christian faith motivates us to serve others with humility, integrity, excellence and love. We seek to demonstrate the compassion of Christ through practical healthcare that restores dignity, promotes wellness and offers hope.
In partnership with El Roi Ministries the ASM Clinic also provides food parcels to infants or young children who are failing to thrive, and to families or child-headed homes who have been identified as being in extreme need.
