Summit Square Medical Centre

Running a medical centre in Johannesburg means dealing with the practical realities of South African healthcare. Summit Square Medical Centre manages the infrastructure challenges — maintaining patient records during power cuts, sourcing reliable medications when supply chains strain, and keeping diagnostic equipment functioning in a city where electricity is unpredictable. The clinic operates within the medical aid system that most working Johannesburg residents depend on, handling the paperwork and billing that comes with it, while also seeing patients who pay cash. They navigate HPCSA registration requirements, maintain adequate stock of essential medicines despite shortages, and manage the pace of a busy urban practice. Behind the scenes is the daily work of keeping a clinic running in a major city: infection control protocols, staff scheduling around load shedding, and ensuring that the facilities stay functional regardless of what Eskom does that day.
