Many people only visit a clinic when they’re feeling really sick. Others put off appointments because they’re not sure where to go, they’re worried about long waits, or they think their problem might not be serious enough.

This is exactly what Primary Health Care is for.

At RetroMed, primary health care means accessible, professional, and supportive medical care for everyday health needs, right here in Kimberley.

What Is Primary Health Care?

Primary Health Care is your first stop when you need medical attention. It focuses on preventing illness, catching problems early, treating common health conditions, and supporting your long-term health and wellbeing.

Instead of waiting until a problem becomes serious, primary health care lets you address concerns early, safely, and affordably.

At RetroMed, our Primary Health Care nurse provides comprehensive care and refers you to doctors or specialists when needed.

General Health Consultations

Not feeling well but unsure why? A general consultation is often the best place to start.

At RetroMed, general consultations include:

  • Blood pressure, glucose, and vital checks
  • Assessment of symptoms like pain, fatigue, fever, or dizziness
  • Treatment of common illnesses and infections
  • Medication reviews
  • Advice on managing your health at home

These visits help catch problems early and give you peace of mind.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Care

Sexual and reproductive health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and it should always be handled with respect and confidentiality.

RetroMed offers STI testing, treatment, and counselling, HIV testing and guidance, family planning services including Implanon, safe male medical circumcision (VMMC), and menstrual health support.

Whether you’re seeking prevention, testing, treatment, or advice, our clinic provides a judgement-free space where your privacy is respected.

Confidential bookings available via WhatsApp.

Women’s Health and Pregnancy Support

Women experience unique health needs at different stages of life. Primary health care supports women before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as routine women’s health needs.

At RetroMed, we support women with pregnancy testing, prenatal check-ups, guidance around ultrasound and sonar scans, postnatal support, and breast health awareness.

Early care during pregnancy improves outcomes for both mother and baby.

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

Stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and trauma can affect your sleep, energy levels, hormones, and overall wellbeing. Primary health care includes checking in on how you’re coping, not just treating physical symptoms.

RetroMed offers mental health check-ins, emotional support and counselling, trauma-informed care, and referrals for specialised mental health services when needed.

You don’t need to wait until things are unbearable to ask for help.

Private and confidential support is available.

Chronic Disease Monitoring and Ongoing Care

Living with a chronic condition requires regular monitoring and support.

RetroMed assists patients with diabetes management, high blood pressure monitoring, chronic medication reviews, follow-up care plans, and referrals to doctors or specialists when necessary.

Consistent care helps prevent complications and improves your long-term quality of life.

Minor Procedures, Wound Care, and Rehabilitation Support

Some medical issues don’t require hospital visits but still need professional care.

At RetroMed, we provide wound care and dressings, suturing for minor cuts, abscess care, basic rehabilitation guidance, and recovery monitoring.

This allows you to receive safe treatment without long hospital queues.

Walk-ins welcome, appointments recommended.
