About Cure Day Hospitals
About Cure Day Hospitals
Cure Day Hospitals was established 16 years ago by a group of visionary doctors whose dream it was to provide private health care that is more affordable and more accessible to South Africans. South Africa’s private health care has been criticised for its high costs with medical inflation at the core of these spiralling expenses. Cure Day Hospitals’ business model addresses this by providing lower pricing to benefit both medical aid members and private patients.
To contribute to Cure Day Hospitals’ legacy, a Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Partnership was formed. Cure Day is wholly owned by doctors and business people and is supported by an experienced and qualified management team.
The group’s first day hospital was bought as a going concern. Established 32 years ago, it reopened as Medkin Cure Day Hospitals in March 2008. The second hospital opened in May 2011 in Midstream and more facilities followed.
The group now consists of 12 day hospitals in total, with 6 based in Gauteng in the Pretoria CBD (Medkin), Midstream, Erasmuskloof, Fourways, Wilgeheuwel and Newmarket Alberton; Bloemfontein, Free State and Western Cape: Foreshore, Somerset West, Bellville, and Paarl. We have recently established our first footprint in the Eastern Cape in East London with further new developments which will include Cure Day Hospitals Mbombela and more to come.
The vision of the Cure Day Holdings board of directors is to establish a footprint across South Africa in a timely manner to ensure minimum risk and a healthy cash flow for the group.
Our mission is to become the preferred provider of day surgery facilities in South Africa, providing quality customer-focused services to medical practitioners, patients and shareholders. Establishing and maintaining strong relationships with medical doctors and other allied communities.

What to Expect at a Day Hospital
A day hospital is a facility where surgery is performed and patients discharged on the same day.
Surgical procedures are performed using modern technology and minimal invasive surgical techniques. This expedites recovery and reduces time spent in hospital.
Specialists perform only minor procedures in a safe and well-equipped environment. Anaesthetists administer anaesthetics with trained operating theatre nursing staff supporting the doctors.
This approach to surgery is highly cost effective for patients.
