Cure Day Clinics is the vision of a group of like-minded doctors. Their dream was to provide private health care that is more affordable, hence, more accessible, to more South Africans.
South Africa’s private health care has been criticized for its high costs, and medical inflation has been part of these spiraling costs. Cure Day Clinics addresses this through providing lower prices – especially to private paying patients.
The group of doctors also realised the importance of creating a legacy, not just a business entity and formed a true Black Economic Empowered (BEE) partnership. This partnership is backed by an experienced and qualified management team. Thirty doctors and other individuals in related fields own 100% of Cure Day Clinics, funded by them.
The group’s first clinic is the Cure Day Clinics – Medkin. Bought as an existing concern, established over 30 years ago, this clinic has been operating since March 2008 as part of the newly established Cure Day Clinics group. The second clinic opened in Midstream in May of 2011. The Cure Day Clinic Midstream is a modern and child friendly facility with 2 theatres and 20 beds.
Cure Day Clinics Erasmuskloof opened its doors on 1 February 2012 with 3 theatres and 30 beds and the latest and fourth hospital is situated in the Western Cape, Cure Day Clinics St Stephen’s Paarl which opened its doors for procedures on 1 August 2012.
The group has already secured licences to open clinics in Pietermaritzburg, Wilgeheuwel, Blaauwberg, Somerset West, Bellville, Bloemfontein and Polokwane.
The expansion plans include establishing clinics across the country, providing same-day surgery at affordable prices within a safe and privately managed environment. The launch of the Cure Day Clinics group is very timeous given the effect of the global credit crunch and limited financial resources of so many South Africans.
