Lenmed is a well-established hospital group with a successful track record in excess of 40 years providing integrated patient healthcare in Africa through the management and ownership of hospitals and other related health services throughout its 20 multi-disciplinary and specialised facilities.
Lenmed is the largest independent healthcare group in Southern Africa which owns and/or manages more than 2,500 licensed hospital beds across South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana and Ghana, supported by a workforce of over 7,300 people and 1,300 doctor specialists practicing across 90 medical disciplines.
Our growth, both organic and acquisitive, over 40 years reflects our legacy of sound resilience, entrepreneurial drive and agility, while operating with a strong ethical culture. Our governance approach is rooted in the principles of transparency, accountability, and sound oversight, ensuring that integrity and responsibility are upheld across every aspect of our business.
We have extensive experience working across different countries, each presenting their own unique opportunities and challenges. This has sharpened our ability to be agile and flexible in our approach, allowing us to adapt our offering to meet the requirements of different markets and cultures and ensure that we meet the overall business and objectives of these opportunities.
Our focus is long-term in nature where we believe a strong partnership bond from the outset will contribute to further areas of expansion and growth to be identified, explored and shared between the parties.
Our above approach has contributed to Lenmed’s success to date where we believe we bring the following value to our partners and stakeholders, and which sets us apart from other competitors:

Lenmed prides itself in its ability to turn around troubled hospitals and to unlock value for stakeholders which is evidence from previous success achieved, including inter alia:
We were able to take this hospital in Botswana from a significant loss-making position to becoming profitable within 18 months.
We introduced cardiac and oncology services to the region, becoming profitable within 18 months from opening its doors.
We were able to take this hospital in South Africa from a loss making position to becoming profitable within 24 months and doubling the number of licensed beds.
The hospital became profitable within 12 months of acquisition.
Lenmed offers full turnkey commissioning and operational management solutions, that are customised to individual requirements.
Our business model provides the flexibility to own and manage hospitals, or to manage these for third parties. The Bank Hospital in Accra (Ghana) is a powerful example where Lenmed is managing this hospital on behalf of the Bank of Ghana with great success. The turnaround plan implemented has proven to be successful and significant improvements in clinical delivery, operational efficiencies and profitability have already been achieved. The Bank Hospital has been honoured as “Multi-Specialty Hospital of the Year” at the Ghana Quality Healthcare Awards in September 2023.Our focus is long-term in nature where we believe a strong partnership bond from the outset will contribute to further areas of expansion and growth to be identified, explored and shared between the parties.
