The MAHC provides animal health care to the community of Mamelodi and the surrounding areas of Eersterust and Nellmapius. The main service of the clinic is sterilisation and vaccination, through which it seeks to combat threats like rabies. It provides affordable veterinary services to improve the well-being of the animals. First-year BSc students on the Mamelodi Campus are still applying to be selected for the Veterinary Science programme volunteer at the clinic to gain exposure to and experience in their intended field of study and participate in community service.
