Info

Life Healthcare is the biggest provider of private acute mental healthcare services in South Africa, currently offering such services at six dedicated facilities located in Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Life Healthcare’s strategy is to expand its footprint in this niche market in order to widen access to, and meet the growing demand for, private acute mental healthcare. The total number of acute mental health beds in our dedicated facilities amounts to 384, and some of the most respected psychiatrists in the country utilize our facilities. Generally, the mental healthcare services offered at these dedicated facilities include general psychiatry, treatment for substance dependence or other addictions associated with psychiatric disorders and, in certain cases, some psychiatric sub-specialities for high and medium acuity users. Post-discharge support is usually also offered. Treatments offered include evidence-based drug therapy, individual psychiatric consultations and psychotherapy, group therapy and, where needed, physical therapy. These holistic services are provided by a multi-disciplinary team which, depending on individual patient needs, could comprise medical practitioners such as psychiatrists; other healthcare professionals such as psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists or biokineticists, social workers and counselors; as well as mental health nursing practitioners. Life Healthcare is committed to providing mental healthcare users with service of world-class quality. The group’s mental health operations have achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification. As part of our commitment to continuing professional development (CPD) in the field of psychiatry in South Africa, we offer a number of educational activities in this specialised field.
