Life Sports Science Orthopaedic Surgical Day Centre Visiting Hours

This is an eight-bed day centre next to the Sports Science Institute in Newlands, so patients come in for a procedure and go home the same day and there is no ward visiting to arrange. It treats prominent sportspeople and private patients alike, mostly for ankle, elbow, hand, hip, knee and shoulder work. Phone 021 670 9920 to confirm the arrival time and arrange a lift home, since most of these procedures rule out driving afterwards.
