MEDITECH South Africa Community
We strive to conduct our business in a socially responsible manner and are committed to supporting ongoing research related to critical healthcare issues.
Mandela Day
In celebration of Mandela Day, MEDITECH SA came together to make a positive impact in the community through two key initiatives, embodying the spirit of Ubuntu and collective action. Our employees were eager to contribute their time and effort to support local causes.
One group of employees spent the day at Nokuphila School in Midrand, where they helped revitalize the school’s fence with a fresh coat of paint. The project was made possible through generous donations from staff members, who helped purchase the necessary materials. Their hard work gave new life to the school, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed.
Meanwhile, the finance team visited Botshabelo Children's Home, where they donated essential goods and spent quality time with the children. Their visit brought joy to the home, further showcasing our commitment to helping those in need. These initiatives were a great success, and we are proud of the difference we made together in honour of Nelson Mandela’s legacy.
Stationery Drive
MEDITECH SA launched a stationery drive for a local school, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding support and generosity. Your contributions made a significant difference in the lives of students in need. The school reported that they successfully distributed stationery packs to 60 learners in grades 4 and 5, helping to bridge gaps, especially for grade 5 students. They also identified the top 5 learners in grades 6 and 7 to receive Christmas gifts, bringing smiles to many faces. Thank you once again for your dedication to positively impacting our community!
Let there be light
MEDITECH has transitioned to LED and other high-efficiency lighting across its facilities as part of its commitment to sustainability. This change significantly reduces electricity consumption, lowers carbon emissions, and enhances energy efficiency, contributing to a greener and more environmentally responsible workplace.
Won’t go to waste
We are committed to recycling paper, plastic, glass, and other materials to reduce waste and support sustainability. Additionally, we collect plastic bottle caps, which are melted into ingots and sold for recycling, with the proceeds used to purchase wheelchairs for disadvantaged individuals, making a meaningful impact in our community.
Passion for learning
At MEDITECH, we value and encourage higher learning, recognizing the ongoing shortage of skilled IT professionals. We believe one of the most effective ways to address this gap is by creating opportunities for aspiring individuals to grow their skills. In partnership with Torque IT, we are proud to support young people in obtaining formal IT qualifications while gaining practical work experience. We hope that this investment will help them secure meaningful careers in the IT industry. In 2016, five students successfully completed the first phase of their learnership training with Torque IT and are now gaining hands-on experience through workplace training at Vodacom IT Support. MEDITECH is committed to making a positive impact on healthcare IT education and is honored to offer these valuable learnership opportunities.
