| Organization Description: |
SANTA Johannesburg is a small but dynamic Not-for-Profit Organisation , that has been around since 1950. We describe ourselves in terms of our values. “we are passionate, honest and committed to eradicating TB whilst also respecting and empowering people”.
Our Vision
SANTA’s vision is to engage and empower communities, individuals and young people to enhance their contribution to sustainable development. Through empowering, collaborating and learning together we aim to build a sustainable future for those individuals and communities we serve. Our focus is to reach as many people as we can and deliver to them the life every human being deserves.
The organisation operates one mobile x-ray unit fitted with sophisticated digital x-ray equipment. This mobile unit visits the premises of companies in order to screen people for TB by means of chest x-rays.
It’s important to stress that this screening is not taking place in response to any suspected outbreak of TB, rather it is being held to ensure that any cases are identified promptly and that patients are prescribed the right treatment to help them make a full recovery.
TB Education also plays a very important role; the more informed people are the better they know what to look out for! Our slogan”FIND OUT ABOUT TB – BEFORE IT FINDS YOU”. |
