Our Cross-Subsidising Structure
Our hospital is unique in South Africa in that it functions on a cross-subsidizing structure. Patients on medical aid are assisted at medical aid rates.
Proceeds from these services are then used to assist low socioeconomic status patients waiting for cataract operations on waiting lists.
