Mediclinic begins operations from new Stellenbosch hospital
Mediclinic moved into its new Stellenbosch-based hospital in June this year. The 16,000m2 development was purpose-built for the private hospital group by Atterbury and its partners.
“Atterbury’s buildings are always carefully developed with the people who will use them in mind, and even more so in this case,” notes Atterbury Western Cape Development Manager Gerrit van den Berg. The eco-friendly building was designed by TV3 Architects and Townplanners, allowing for plentiful soothing natural light and is water efficient thanks to a grey water system, water harvesting and its drought-resistant gardens require minimal irrigation.
The bigger private hospital responds to growing demand in this community and means that residents of Stellenbosch and the surrounding Winelands areas will no longer need to travel long distances to access specialist medical services.
It houses over 100 beds, a 24-hour emergency centre, five theatres, reception, gardens, coffee shop, and a pharmacy. Its departments cover general surgery, medical patients, ophthalmology, urology, ICU, general theatres, radiology as well as a day clinic. Its second phase, due for completion at the end of July, includes gynaecology, maternity, paediatrics and obstetrics.
