Working at Mediclinic
Mediclinic International was founded in 1983 in Stellenbosch, South Africa, when its current president, Dr Edwin Hertzog, was commissioned by the then Rembrandt Group (now Remgro Group) to carry out a feasibility study on how profitable private hospitals could be. Three years later, Mediclinic International, which operates four hospitals and three under construction, was listed on the South African stock exchange, the JSE, in 1986. In line with the mission to improve the quality of life, the strategic focus of the group is to provide cost- efficient, high-quality care and an excellent customer experience across the continuum of care.
By doing this, Mediclinic adds value to its operations and fulfils its vision of being the partner people trust for all their healthcare needs.

The Group’s corporate strategy creates a framework in which the Company can quickly adapt to market needs; maintain a diverse, results-driven and collaborative culture that engages talent and leverages scale, knowledge and skills; and for the sustainable growth of this position.
Mediclinic’s philosophy is to make long-term growth decisions that support its core business and future position. The group actively focuses on building innovative treatment models according to industry trends. The Group follows a strategy of responsible financial leverage and mainly uses its asset base to ensure cost-effective borrowing. While ownership brings operational and financial benefits, the approach is not fixed, but rather reflects the business needs of the group as it extends across the continuum of care.
