Identifying the niche in the market for a medical hospital facility within the Pietermaritzburg Hilton and surrounding areas, local developer André Voigts conceptualised and drove the project to develop a private hospital. Life Healthcare Group partnered in this R200 million venture.
Due to the shortage of beds in local and surrounding hospitals, the idea of developing a new hospital was a welcomed proposition. The Life Hilton will be the flagship hospital for Life Healthcare Group.
The financial model of the group concept is leading in terms of emerging trends and to create opportunities to allow practitioners to invest and therefore become administrators of their own hospital, as well as shareholders.
This in turn, presents a management module that benefits the patient, practitioner and shareholders.
Due to the accessibility from the highway, position within the Midlands, the patient care synonymous to Life Healthcare Group; the progression of development in the healthcare sector will naturally centralise to Hilton.
Due to this forecasted migration the demand for a doctors block and practitioner rooms was realised and conceptualised. This development is aptly named Hilton Health — Partnering in Healthcare. Hilton Health opens in June 2015.
