The Rhiza Babuyile Clinic, founded in 2022, is Diepsloot's first private brick-and-mortar healthcare facility, offering basic care and reducing inequities for the people of the township. Before the clinic opened, long waiting times and high costs discouraged people from seeking medical attention. "Empathy in Africa'' follows three women empowered by the clinic -- a patient and two healthcare workers - who personify resilience in the face of tremendous obstacles and are reaching for a more hopeful future.
