The Health Department has a central unit, based at the Metro Centre, and 11 regional implementation units. The City of Johannesburg is thus a health district composed of 11 administrative health sub-districts or regions, which are demarcated according to the regions of the city. The central health department is responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation, reporting, norms and service level standards, and policy, procedure and guideline development. The 11 regional health components are responsible for managing the clinics under the City's jurisdiction and delivering primary and environmental health services.
