Nursing

Nursing is the well-oiled sprocket in the South African private hospital industry. The sector is a beacon of excellence and quality largely because of its highly qualified force complying with the rigid standards and high ethics as laid down by the South African Nursing Council. Many private hospitals offer basic training and, in particular, much needed bridging course, specialist and ongoing training for staff less qualified nurses to help them become professionals. The private hospital industry is committed to providing nursing care of the highest standard - a standard of care our patients have come to expect.
