Major milestone: SCP opens new in-hospital branch

SCP Radiology is thrilled to announce the opening of a new in-hospital branch in the Western Cape.

SCP Radiology Malmesbury is co-located with Crestcare Malmesbury, a newly developed private hospital where SCP will offer comprehensive medical imaging for admitted patients as well as referred outpatients.

Specialised services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), diagnostic ultrasound, mammography, and fluoroscopy. These will significantly add to the general X-rays SCP had previously offered at its local branch. The team from the existing local branch is also relocating from Malmesburyโ€™s CBD to join the branch on the Crestcare premises.

Heading SCP Radiology Malmesbury as Branch Manager is Dr Jaco du Plessis, a seasoned radiologist and partner in the practice. โ€œWe are honoured to bring our services to the Swartland community,โ€ he says. โ€œSCP is a well-established radiology practice with several branches at major hospitals. We are fully committed to providing the same imaging technology and standard of services at our new address.โ€

SCP Radiology has opened a new in-hospital branch at Crestcare Malmesbury.
Dr Jaco du Plessis and the new team members at SCP Radiology Malmesbury: Simonรฉ Boehme, Carmen Newman, Manilinde Maritz, Ryan Owies, Lineve Lategan and Sr Muriell Bekeur. Mariรฉ Smalberger and Elsie Nell will join the team soon.

Access to group expertise

SCP Radiology is a practice with over 30 radiologists โ€“ fully qualified medical doctors with an additional specialist qualification in medical imaging. Many of SCPโ€™s radiologists have also completed fellowships at leading international teaching facilities.

Together with a team of highly experienced radiographers and support staff, they ensure that referring GPs and specialists have access to the technology and expertise they often rely on to make accurate diagnoses.

โ€œWe are excited about a location that will make it easier for Swartland residents to access our services once their doctor has referred them,โ€ says Dr du Plessis. โ€œThatโ€™s because the health and well-being of patients will always be our top priority. We look forward to serving the local community for many years to come.โ€
