Known as South Africa’s smallest province, Gauteng is highly urbanised with quite a few medical care centres in both the public and private sector. With only 18% of the population being able to afford medical aid, most people turn to the state to provide them with the most basic of primary health care. Unfortunately though the public sector is under-resourced and over-used which has led to quite a few cases of medical malpractice. As such patients who have suffered due to these actions have required the services of medical lawyers in the Centurion area.
