Netcare in the UK

Our UK operation was established in 2001, and provides specialised clinical services to patients under contract to the National Health Service. Existing contracts involve Netcare performing an estimated 90,000 procedures over five years.

In 2006, Netcare led a consortium that acquired General Healthcare Group, owner of the UK’s largest independent hospital operator BMI Healthcare.

General Healthcare Group is the leading provider of independent health care services in the UK. The group focuses on clinical excellence, quality of service and efficiency, with a deserved reputation in the independent health care sector for consistent achievement of these values.



BMI Healthcare, the UK’s premier private health care provider with acute care private patient hospitals and outpatient centres in nearly 60 locations around the country and 2,666 beds. Handling over 250,000 inpatient and one million outpatient visits each year, nearly half of the procedures undertaken for private patients are of a major or complex nature.
