Cardiac Unit
Mediclinic Vergelegen's Cardiac Unit offers world-class, comprehensive cardiac care supported by state-of-the-art technology, advanced treatment modalities, and a highly skilled multidisciplinary Heart Team. Our team comprises cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeon, paediatric cardiologist, specialised anaesthetists, electrophysiologist, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, and experienced professional nursing staff, all working together to provide personalised care for both adult and paediatric patients.
The unit is equipped with highly specialised equipment and provides a full spectrum of diagnostic, interventional, surgical, and rehabilitative cardiac services. Our expertise extends to adult and paediatric cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and the diagnosis and treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders through specialised electrophysiology services.
Recognising that recovery extends beyond hospitalisation, we offer structured cardiac rehabilitation programmes and access to a dedicated cardiac support group, providing ongoing support to patients and their families following discharge.
Mediclinic Vergelegen's Heart Unit has earned recognition for its exceptional standards of care. The unit was selected to host the first live satellite transmission of cardiac procedures from a hospital in the Western Cape, a distinction that highlights the clinical excellence, advanced facilities, and professional expertise maintained within the unit.
At every stage of the patient journey, our commitment is to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care that achieves the best possible outcomes for patients with heart and cardiovascular conditions.
Emergency Centre
The 24 hour emergency centre is constantly manned by experienced medical doctors and registered nurses. We make use of the international triage system and each patient will be triaged and seen by the doctor accordingly. The unit endeavours to incorporate the patient's general practitioner in the further treatment of the patient.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
The unit, equipped with the latest medical equipment and technology, comprises high and intensive care beds, and special isolation units, served by highly specialised and dedicated medical specialists and nursing personnel who play an essential role in the treatment and care of the babies within this unit. The unit has a “developmental care” and baby-friendly approach and promotes “Kangaroo Mother Care” for growing babies, actively involving the mother in the care of her baby.
Mediclinic Renal Services (coming soon)
Mediclinic Renal Services offers renal services for the early onset of kidney disease, and care for both chronic and acute kidney conditions in patients requiring renal dialysis. Acute kidney conditions require hospital admission, and as such, our renal care services will be accessible to hospitalised patients. With our chronic kidney disease patients, we not only offer unit based haemodialysis, but also home based Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) as an alternative to perform dialysis in the comfort of their own homes.

Antenatal Classes
As part of our commitment to comprehensive maternity care offering, we facilitate monthly antenatal classes led by a highly experienced professional nurse with vast experience in Maternal care and lactation consulting. These sessions provide expectant parents with essential knowledge and practical skills to confidently navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and early infant care. From understanding the stages of labour to mastering how to bathe a newborn, each class is designed to empower parents with hands-on guidance. Importantly, participants are also trained in infant CPR—equipping them with life-saving skills and greater peace of mind as they prepare to welcome their little one.
