Medical Centre

Finding the right GP means understanding what separates genuine competence from box-ticking in primary care. A good medical centre tracks chronic conditions properly—managing those long-term scripts patients need, handling medical aid billing without causing administrative headaches, and knowing when to refer rather than guess. In Durban, that competence includes familiarity with common local health patterns, occupational health requirements for various industries, and the ability to navigate the various medical aid networks that patients use. Experience shows in how staff manage the waiting room, how quickly issues get triaged, whether the practice uses systems that actually talk to specialists and pharmacies, and whether a patient feels heard rather than rushed through. These are the markers that matter when you're choosing continuity of care.
