Conveniently located in the southern suburb of Fichardt Park, the 251-bed Life Rosepark Hospital has a reputation for quality care and clinical excellence. This private hospital, in the Free State and Northern Cape, opened its doors in 1987 with only 155 beds, four theatres and five intensive care beds.

As the healthcare needs of the community and the demand for high quality healthcare increased, the hospital made several upgrades to their facilities and premises over the years, to offer one-stop medical services to the community of central South Africa.

At Life Rosepark Hospital we are about personal care, and individual commitment to add the human touch into the services we provide. With a passion for people – the life of our business for 35 years– we aim to create partnerships that last a lifetime within the communities we serve.
