Why choose South Africa?

World Class Medical Facilities

In fact, the medical facilities in South Africa are more than world class. Highly regulated, state of the art private hospitals offer the very latest technology and South African Doctors are among the best trained and most highly skilled in the world. Most private hospitals in South Africa belong to large groups with significant resources and uniformly high standards of care which are rigorously monitored. The doctors and hospitals used by Jamandi are the best of the best.

Just look at some of the achievements and innovations of South African medicine:

  • The first human heart transplant by Chris Barnard in 1967
  • Nobel prize for yellow fever research - Max Theiler - 1937
  • Nobel prize for co-invention of the CAT scan - Allan Cormack - 1979
  • Nobel prize for electron microscopy - Aaron Klug - 1982
  • Nobel prize for physiology - Sydney Brenner - 2002
  • Smart lock Safety Syringes (used globally to prevent HIV and other needle-stick injuries)
  • APS Therapy (alternative pain treatment)
  • Retinal Cryoprobe (for cataract removal). A procedure used on Margaret Thatcher & Nelson Mandela. Won the Queen’s Award for Technological Innovation.
  • Lodox X-ray machine which can scan a patient’s entire body in 13 seconds while producing the lowest radiation levels of any such machine.

No Waiting Lists

Unlike many countries where patients are required to wait anything from several weeks to months or even years for surgery, the private medical industry in South Africa is able to accommodate patients without delay in most circumstances. Your operation can be a distant memory while folks back home are still waiting to get a date for surgery.

Value For Money

Medical costs in South Africa compare very favourably to those countries which are able to offer comparable standards of health care. Added to this the favourable exchange rate make South Africa an even more attractive destination for a cost effective surgery. It is common for visitors to South Africa to combine their surgery with a wonderful holiday and still spend significantly less than the medical procedure alone would have cost them at home.

Jamandi strives to enhance your experience of value by including all possible costs in your quote so that apart from optional expenses, you know what your costs will be. It is no fun having to put your hand in your wallet all the time.
