The Lenmed Group acquired a majority stake in Howick Private Hospital on the 1 March 2021 and celebrated the official grand opening on the 11 May 2021.
The Group is excited to be expanding its footprint in the KwaZulu-Natal province and for the opportunity to engage and work with the local medical community to bring Lenmed’s compassionate and warm philosophy of healthcare to the community of Howick.
Amil Devchand, Group CEO stated that, “Lenmed intends to grow and enhance the clinical service offering over time, placing our people -our patients, employees, doctors and community members – at the forefront of what we do, and importantly, guided by our vision of championing exceptional patient experience and clinical outcomes and remaining true to our roots, the communities and people we serve”.

The Lenmed Group has proudly offered exceptional healthcare to the communities in which it operates for over 36 years. Lenmed’s story of triumph and commitment began in 1984, during Apartheid, when a group of doctors took it on themselves to raise funds and build a healthcare facility catering for the marginalised communities of Lenasia, Soweto and surrounds. Today, Lenmed manages and owns thirteen (13) hospitals in South Africa, Mozambique, and Botswana and prides itself on its extensive experience and success in bringing quality healthcare to the people across many communities in these countries.
