Life Rehabilitation forms part of the Life Healthcare Group, which is a JSE-listed hospital operator with more than 60 private acute bed hospitals in South Africa.

All seven facilities are custom built or refurbished and equipped with modern equipment to suit the specific needs of all our acute rehabilitation clients and to meet legal criteria laid down by the Department of Health. Life Rehabilitation is still the only group accredited ISO-9001:2008 rehabilitation network in South Africa, evidence that our quality standards meet international criteria. As part of our commitment to continuing professional development (CPD) in the field of rehabilitation in South Africa, we offer a number of educational activities in this specialised field.
