Private healthcare for people in Johannesburg

Care in Dubai, our nearest city to Johannesburg

Dubai is the closest of our cities to Johannesburg. Appointments there are arranged with the best clinics in the city and followed by your concierge, with private GP from AED 1,300, doctor at your home or hotel from AED 1,400, executive health from AED 34,000 and full body MRI from AED 19,000.

You can request an appointment today whether or not you are a member, and members have priority. One record holds your results and your plan, in Dubai and in London alike.

Care in London for people from Johannesburg

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Specialist appointments and any scans or tests are fitted around the days you are in London, so even a short stay covers everything you came for.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from South Africa are not on the list of nationalities that can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, so check on GOV.UK whether you need a Standard Visitor visa, which can cover private medical treatment [1] [2].

Health care in Johannesburg

Registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa is a prerequisite for professional practice, and practitioners keep their details current with the council and renew each year. [3]

The council asks practices to make sure that every practitioner treating the public is registered with it. [4]

Gauteng, the province of Johannesburg, had the largest population of any South African province at the 2022 census, with 15,099,422 people. [5]

Arranging a visit from Johannesburg

Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in Johannesburg, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

Tell us your time zone and we schedule calls with your doctor at an hour that suits you in Johannesburg. After a long flight, a first appointment the following morning tends to work better than one on the day you land, and your concierge can plan around that.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

• Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
• A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
• The question you most want answered, written down
• The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Letters go to you in English, ready for a doctor in Johannesburg, and your results stay in your record after you leave. Next time you come, nothing has to be repeated.
