Real estate investment trust Growthpoint Healthcare Property Holdings (GHPH) has completed the development of the Epione Health Village, in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

This development represents South Africa’s first integrated primary and surgical health village, combining primary care, specialist care, day surgery, pharmacy and diagnostics all under one roof.

Growthpoint highlights that this flagship facility is valued at about R100-million and introduces a new model of integrated, accessible and affordable healthcare to South Africa.

The company adds that this project has brought together GHPH’s capital and healthcare real estate specialisation, Growthpoint’s development expertise and health solutions company Epione’s founding philosophy of doctor-led, patient-centred care that is both affordable and inclusive.

“We identified Growthpoint as our partner of choice about eight years ago and explored this concept together. They have the experience, capital and expertise to build successful hospitals.
