Science you can trust.
Care you can feel.
A private surgical centre of excellence built around one idea — that world-class technology and genuine human care belong in the same room. 195 beds, 13 theatres and a 24-hour emergency unit, all under one roof.
More than double the average number of surgical beds per hospital.
One of the only hospitals on the continent with two hybrid theatres and a dedicated interventional radiology suite.
Consulting on campus across twelve surgical and medical disciplines.
Specialised surgery, done properly — and done here.
Johannesburg Surgical Hospital is positioned to be the premier destination for cutting-edge surgical and rehabilitative care, with the resources, expertise and commitment to match. Our facility is equipped to receive patients from across the country and the continent.
Advances in technology mean many procedures can now be performed with far less invasive techniques. Our teams focus on highly specialised surgical disciplines so that service levels improve, lengths of stay shorten, and quality of care rises — without losing sight of patient dignity and healing.
- Minimally invasive, image-guided and robotic surgery
- Radiology built into the hospital, not bolted onto it
- Specialist consulting rooms on the same campus as theatre
- Pricing and service models aligned to medical aids and NHI
Hybrid theatres
