A look inside the new R470-million high tech hospital in Pretoria

Growthpoint Properties has announced the completion of a new R470-million “first-of-its-kind” specialised surgical hospital in Pretoria.

The Cintocare Hospital in the Menlyn Maine precinct is the first 5-star rated green hospital in Africa, and the fifth in the world which offers a specialised surgical mix and clinical business model.

The hospital is a clinical centre of excellence focused exclusively on head, neck, spinal and vascular surgery, with no emergency facilities.

Keep seeing the amazing things built privately and the amount of money squandered by the government. Imagine they built hospitals like these! Or universities. Or anything that works.

all this high tech but their website is a stock WordPress template

Nothing wrong with that.

It's sad to think where we could have been as a country after 25 years if our corrupt government didn't steal billions (or trillions) from their people. At this point I have stopped blaming the ANC, instead I'm blaming their voters that keep them in power... and still get nothing in return.

Looks really nice, hope I never see the inside of it

 

[Mr Scratch]

Nothing wrong with that.

Okay

So it's for procedures that will not be covered by NHI?

 

[Excalibur]

It must be added to the NHI.

 

[ForceFate]

Well done to all involved.

Why must they spend money on a website?

Their property portfolio speaks for itself, and its not like their website actually generates any real leads or business for them

 

[ToxicBunny]

It must be added to the NHI.

Growthpoint will happily add it to the NHI, for the measly sum of R470m.

Private hospitals will be part of the NHI for no sum.

This will always be the great tragedy of South Africa - it could have been one of the best countries in the world. That dream got ANC-ed.

The government wasted R20 million building a school in my area. For that we have had cleared piece of land for about 2 years and the last 5 it's grown back. R20 million was supposed to be the entire amount for the school.

And in context, it is a measly sum. The cadres spend that much on KFC in a weekend.

Fair point

 

[ToxicBunny]

Private hospitals will be part of the NHI for no sum.

Quite likely if the RETards get their way of course.

But I would think Growthpoint have a fair idea of the way the winds are blowing on the front before they stumped up R470m to build such an entity. Probably considerably more than your veldskoen do actually.

That might be but no staff will work for no sum.
