Quality, One-stop Private Medical Facilities Expanding Across SA

Health-WorX opened its first medical centre in the Western Cape on Thursday 27 October 2005 in the new Willowbridge Shopping Centre in Carl Cronje Drive, Tyger Valley.

Health-WorX medical centres are primary healthcare facilities, where general practitioners
provide services to patients in need of medical care. Health-WorX provides patients with a quality one-stop medical facility offering primary, acute and chronic medical care. The state-ofthe-art Tyger Valley centre boasts advanced emergency facilities with general practitioners as well as on site pathology services. 

Health-WorX opened its first facility in Johannesburg in June 2004. With the resounding success of this initiative and demand from patients, a further four facilities were opened within the next 14 months. New centres are currently being developed across South Africa. During 2006 centres will be opened in the Carlswald shopping centre in Midrand, in the new Greenstone Shopping Centre in Kempton Park, in the new shopping centre close to Little Falls, Roodepoort and on Corlett Drive in Johannesburg.

The group strives to:
• provide the most efficient primary healthcare services,
• provide the most cost effective quality care,
• maintain a contented dedicated workforce,
• satisfy all stakeholders.

Health-WorX is geared to handle any emergency ranging from trauma down to common
coughs and colds, in a friendly and professional environment. With the advanced emergency facilities and equipment available, patients can be treated on site, thus saving on unnecessary hospitalisation. 

A stay in hospital may be a difficult and uncertain time for patients and their loved ones, but by offering ‘first world’ primary medical care, the Health-WorX philosophy is to spare patients this experience unless it is an absolute necessity, which also saves patients and medical schemes from incurring unnecessary expenses.
