In 1999 our shareholder, Mediclinic Southern Africa, expanded its operations strategy to establish ER24, an emergency medical services company.

ER24 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mediclinic Southern Africa, part of the Remgro Group of companies. Mediclinic International currently has three operating divisions:

• Mediclinic Southern Africa which operates 49 acute care private hospitals and two-day clinics throughout South Africa and three hospitals in Namibia; with more than 8 100 inpatient beds in total.

• Mediclinic Middle East which operates six acute care private hospitals and 22 clinics in the United Arab Emirates, mainly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi; with more than 700 inpatient beds.

The group also holds a minority interest of 29.9% in Spire Healthcare Group plc, a leading private hospital group in the United Kingdom and also listed on the LSE.

This association with Mediclinic International has assisted ER24 in extending their global footprint.
