Revamped private hospital opens in April
The hospital will boast brand new paediatric, maternity, day, medical and surgical wards
THE expanded Zamokuhle Private Hospital in Tembisa will open in April this year.
Zamokuhle Private Hospital has been committed to providing high-quality medical care to the community of Tembisa under the ownership of Lenmed since 2005. Aligned with its vision of bringing superior health care to the people, the decision to embark on the expansion of the facility to a 94-bed world-class hospital was undertaken.
The hospital will boast brand new paediatric, maternity, day, medical and surgical wards as well as a state-of-the-art intensive care and high-care unit.
The hospital will also offer 24-hour assistance through its accident and emergency unit. Surgeries will take place in four impressive theatres, including a laminar flow theatre.
The facility will be home to all specialist disciplines. The excitement in anticipation of the opening has been expressed by the group’s CEO and chairman, Prakash Devchand, “My team and I are incredibly enthusiastic for the opening of the new Zamokuhle Private Hospital in Tembisa. It has taken many a sleepless night and countless hours of hard work to ensure we are able to provide the community with a world-class healthcare facility to cater for their needs.
“We look forward to further instilling the warm, healing Lenmed ethos in Tembisa.”
Lenmed Health opened its first hospital, Lenmed Clinic (now Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital), in 1984 as an unassuming pre-fabricated structure on the outskirts of Lenasia, with 48 beds, a handful of doctors and a small complement of administrative and nursing staff.
The group has, since its humble beginnings as one of the first black-owned hospital groups, grown substantially and now owns and manages 10 hospitals across South Africa, Mozambique and Botswana.
