There is no public facility officially called “Dobsonville Clinic” on the City of Johannesburg or Gauteng Health lists. When people search for the Dobsonville clinic, they usually mean Itireleng Clinic (Itireleng Community Health Centre) at 5 Elias Motsoaledi Road, formerly Roodepoort Road, phone 011 988 3101. Many online listings called “Dobsonville Clinic” use this address. The other public clinic in the area is Nokuphila Clinic in Dobsonville Ext 2, phone 011 988 7924.
Both are public clinics offering primary healthcare services such as immunisation, family planning, HIV and TB care. Call before you go, because published hours differ between sources. Details below were checked on 13 September 2026.

Hours in the table come from the City of Johannesburg Region D clinics page. Other sources give different hours for Itireleng: a Gauteng provincial listing has shown weekday hours only, and a 2017 local news report said the centre had started a 24-hour emergency service. We could not confirm which is current, so phone 011 988 3101 before you travel, especially on a Saturday, a public holiday or after 16:00. The same Itireleng phone number appears on the City page, the Gauteng Provincial Government services directory and a June 2026 National Department of Health facility list.

Appointments & What to Bring
Public clinics mostly work on a walk-in basis, with set days for some services. Arrive early, because queues build up in the morning. Bring:
- Your ID document or birth certificate (or passport)
- Your clinic card or file number, if you have been before
- Your child’s Road to Health booklet for immunisations and baby checks
- Any medicine you are currently taking, or your chronic medication card
- Referral letters or test results, if you have them
If you collect chronic medication, ask the clinic about its collection days and whether you can use an external pick-up point.
Fees or Price Guidance (If Verified)
Primary healthcare at public clinics is provided free of charge to most patients under national health policy. We could not find a fee schedule published by either clinic, so ask at reception if you are unsure whether a charge applies to you. If you would rather pay for a quicker private consultation, compare options on our Healthcare in Dobsonville page.
Accessibility & Nearby Facilities
We could not verify wheelchair access, parking or waiting-area details for either clinic. If you use a wheelchair or need help, phone ahead and ask. Nearby, Dobsonville Mall lists pharmacies (Clicks, 011 989 0218, and Empilweni Pharmacy, 011 988 3056) and the private CareKahle clinic (010 786 2090).
