Hermanus - An ever-increasing population in the Hermanus and surrounding Overberg areas and high demand for quality medical facilities has prompted Annenberg Property Group to develop a multi-disciplinary, state-of-the art medical centre in Hermanus which will be known as Hermanus Medical Village.
The medical facility will cater for communities in the greater Overberg area including Hermanus, Onrus, Caledon, Barrydale and Swellendam through to Heidelberg and Bredasdorp. It is set to open in January 2017.
Situated in De Goede Street in close proximity to the provincial hospital and Mediclinic, the new development will include the three-theatre, 22-bed Hermanus Day Hospital, Hermanus Oncology Centre, Spescare - a 20-bed sub-acute facility and Hermanus Elderly Care Place frail care facility.
Typical operations that are performed at a day hospital are general surgery, ophthalmology, gynaecology, urology, orthopaedic, maxillofacial, plastic surgery, ENT (ear, nose and throat) and dental.
Hermanus Medical Village has the potential to be marketed overseas as a medical safari destination.
Medical disciplines will occupy an entire wing of the village while the other wing will be occupied by Hermanus Elderly Care Place which offers a frail care facility with 20 private en-suite rooms and 17 double en-suite rooms on a rental basis, all with balconies or patios, air conditioning, offering DSTV and monitored with CCTV cameras.
