A New Era for Women’s Health at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital

At Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, hope has a sound, the gentle hum of our HIFU machine, the only operational unit in South Africa. And every day, it’s changing lives.
For many women living with fibroids, the road to healing can be long and painful.

But HIFU is rewriting that story:
- No surgery
- No incision, no scars
- Less pain, faster recovery
- Hope restored — futures rebuilt

Our medical team received specialised training at Chongqing Haifu Hospital in China, ensuring that our patients receive world-class care with precision, compassion and excellence.

Today, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital has become a national referral centre for HIFU, welcoming women from across Gauteng and beyond, all seeking a safer, gentler pathway to healing.
Every woman who walks into our HIFU Unit arrives with questions, but many leave with confidence, relief, and smiles that tell a story.

We are proud to champion innovation that protects dignity, preserves fertility, and transforms lives.

Leading, innovating and caring for South Africa’s women.

As Africa’s largest hospital, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital continues to take intentional steps to restore, renew, and elevate the experience of patients and staff. These updates represent a deeper cultural shift rooted in pride, dignity, and service excellence.
