Mediclinic and the public health sector arrange surgeries
Over the past weekend, three more patients from George Provincial Hospital benefited from the collaborative surgeries between Mediclinic and the public health sector. Last week nine young patients received tonsillectomy and grommet surgery under this ongoing project, says Kassie Karstens, the general manager of Mediclinic George and Geneva. Karstens says the collaboration is part of the current national roll-out of pro bono surgeries by Mediclinic. Patients are selected by the provincial hospital from public sector waiting lists and then referred to the specialists involved in the surgeries. The Mediclinic surgical facilities, nursing staff and services from Mediclinic associated doctors are provided free of charge.
