Mediclinic Medforum, a multidisciplinary medical facility. It is conveniently situated close to all main access routes to the Pretoria city centre. Mediclinic Medforum was the first hospital in Pretoria to open a cardio-thoracic unit. The hospital offers patients a broad spectrum of professional medical services and impeccable nursing care by higjly skilled personnel.
Healthcare Services – Specialised Nursing Units:
Cardiac Intensive/Highcare Unit:
Modern and highly specialised equipment is available in the heart catheterisation laboratories. Experienced and skilled medical specialists and nurses make it possible for the cardiac intensive care unit/highcare unit to perform a variety of procedures. These procedures range from simple diagnostic to more complicated interventional procedures.
Emergency Centre:
The Emergency Centre is open 24 hours a day, and constantly manned by experienced medical doctors and registered nurses. Seriously-ill patients will be treated immediately. The patient’s general practitioner is incorporated in the further treatment of the patient.
Gastro-Enterology Unit:
The Gastro-Enterology Unit is unique, and the first of its kind in Pretoria. All our facilities are centralised within one unit. Specialised examinations such as gastroscopies, colonoscopies, placing of stents, sclerotherapy, enteroscopies, sfincterotomies, polipectomies, defeacogrammes and cauterisations are done in one unit. We offer the services of a dietician that consults our patients (as needed) after their procedure, in order to develop a personal therapeutic dietary plan.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit:
A highly specialised neonatal unit provides a comprehensive infrastructure of specialists. It boasts specialised equipment such as ventilators, oscillators, CPAP drivers, blood gas analysis machines and is registered to operate a Nitrix Oxide machine. A dedicated clinical facilitator assists in the training and development of staff working in the unit. This ensures that personnel retain highly specialised and updated skill levels and expertise. Speech therapists are especially involved in the development of neonate’s in teaching the babies with underdeveloped abilities how to suck properly on a bottle. The unit supports “Kangaroo Mother Care” and has a holistic approach to parental involvement regarding the care of their babies. Parents are welcome in the unit at any time. Participation in the development of their child is encouraged.
Pueperium (post-natal) Unit:
The Puerperium Unit encourages “rooming-in” to allow adequate bonding. Therefore the birthing partner is not restricted to visiting hours, but allowed anytime until 20:00. The Puerperium Unit is dedicated to nursing care of the highest quality. There are 6 private rooms available upon request. The unit, together with the World Health Organisation (WHO) are proud supporters of breast-feeding. Any mother’s wish not to breastfeed her baby however, is respected.
