State-of-the-art radiology facility for Garden Route
Over the last few years, the Garden Route, and George in particular, have become a preferred residential choice for many South Africans and people from overseas.
The constant migration to this area, with its easy access to the airport, the N2 and other tourist attractions, have also turned George into a node for medical tourism, where many patients prefer to undergo extended treatment plans away from the hustle and bustle of big cities.
Dr Pieter Henning of the Keystone Medical Group says the city has become a preferred destination for medical tourism in particular.
Henning says that in response to the growing demand and the KSM Group’s commitment to deliver quality healthcare services, it opened a new Keystone Radiology Practice in George this week, at the Trefoil Square Medical Suites in Gloucester Avenue.
"We are a modern and innovative radiology service provider and we pride ourselves in the quality of our service delivery and diagnostic reporting. Taking a proactive approach to healthcare has become a new priority for many people."
In preparation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Keystone Medical is firmly placing the spotlight on the importance of regular screening as part of effective prevention measures.
Henning says the group has deployed its modern, state-of-the-art Mobile Mammogram Unit to George as part of the #ScreenHerSaveHer campaign.
"From Monday, 14 September to 9 October, the mobile unit will be stationed at the NG Moedergemeente in George, where both mammography and breast ultrasound studies will be available as part of our continuous fight against breast cancer," he says.
Members of the public who would like to book a session in George can visit the website for online reservations: https:// ks-med.co.za/breast-cancer-screeningunit/#book or call 087 055 0587.
