All our surgeons are
registered with and licensed by the country’s Medical
Council (HPCSA) and (ASSA) to practice their specialty in
South Africa. Africare’s credentialing process requires
formal reviews of each surgeon’s qualifications and track
record before appointment.
It’s important for us to
know the kind of experience our doctors have in their
designated field and often we determine this by the number
of successful surgeries they’ve performed previously in your
area of concern. Reason for doing this is to reassure our
clients by finding only the best surgeons for them in the
country.
We are aware of the careful consideration one has to put
into place before deciding to travel for medical care. To
avoid regrets, we advise clients to go the safe route, which
is using Africarehealth: the experts in the field.
We love
our country and would like to preserve its integrity by
doing the best we can for foreigners entering the country
not only for medical care but also for tourism. We work in
association with the South African Tourism.
