Mediclinic Southern Africa places science at the heart of its excellent medical services at its 52 multidisciplinary hospitals in South Africa and Namibia. Similarly our Corporate Events division has used the same philosophy to position itself as a leader in medical support at major sporting events such as the Cape Epic, the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon, the Cadiz Freedom Swim and, of course, the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour.

Working on the deliberate approach that prevention is better than cure, the Mediclinic Corporate Events team meticulously gathers information on participants to assess their health risk from conditions such as diabetes, glucose, blood glucose and blood pressure levels. All this information is stalled on a sophisticated electronic patient tracking system that provides medical personnel with instant information on the day of the event. The use of this system has been attributed to the fact that there has not been a single death on the route since its inception six years ago.

In addition their contribution is not limited to dealing with the injuries and medical problems on the day, but involves months of medical planning around health care strategies, medical logistics planning, including route planning, marketing and brand strategies, sourcing medical professionals, setting up medical service points or field hospitals with all the equipment you would find in a hospital emergency centre.

With Corporate Events and the host of other medical services we provide, Mediclinic Southern Africa ensures expertise you can trust.
