ABOUT US
SSEM Mthembu Medical is a distributor of electro-medical devices and medical consumables throughout Southern Africa.
Specialised Systems Electro Medical (SSEM) was formed in 1987, with a focus on the electrophysiology and respiratory markets. By 2000, after SSEM had expanded its product base to include ultrasound imaging and medical consumable products, the company’s position as a leader in Sub-Saharan Africa was firmly established. In the same year, SSEM contracted Mthembu Medical (Pty) Limited to manage its warehouse, logistical and technical support requirements nationally.
In May 2006 the two companies merged and now trade as SSEM Mthembu Medical (Pty) Ltd. We have consolidated our infrastructures with the aim of improving efficiency.
SSEM Mthembu Medical is now fully compliant with industry standards at all levels including the requirements of the Health Care Charter and Broad Based Black Empowerment regulations. 28% of the company is held by a black empowerment entity.
SSEM Mthembu provides specialised equipment to meet the stringent expectations of specialist physicians, private clinics and hospitals - including operating theatres, critical care, high care units, trauma and emergency care. We also cater for the occupational health and home care sectors.
Our state of the art equipment is complemented by a vast range of medical consumables.
