Welcome

We are delighted to introduce you to the Wits University Donald Gordon Medical Centre (WDGMC), the first private academic hospital in South Africa. It was established when the University of the Witwatersrand bought the Kenridge Hospital in Parktown with a founding donation from the Donald Gordon Trust.

In 2005 Medi-Clinic Private Hospital Group became a partner with Wits University and was also awarded themanagement contract. The hospital was established to create a facility in the private sector for training of sub-specialists.
