Mediclinic wins first round in renal dialysis service dispute against Life Healthcare
Cape Times
|February 25, 2026
THE Competition Tribunal has turned Life Healthcare Group’s (Life) bid to continue offering renal dialysis services by patients at five Mediclinic hospitals including Vergelegen, Morningside, Panorama, Potchefstroom and Newcastle
The ruling was made while investigations are ongoing into the complaint regarding the exclusion of Life Healthcare Group (Pty) Ltd and Life Renal Care (Pty) Ltd (collectively ‘Life’) from providing in-hospital dialysis services to patients.
The Tribunal dismissed an application for interim relief brought by Life against Mediclinic Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd and Mediclinic Renal Services South Africa (collectively “Mediclinic’).
Mediclinic Renal Services provides dialysis services within Mediclinic hospitals and operates a few co-located and standalone dialysis clinics. It does not operate mobile units. Prior to 2024, third-party providers (including Life Renal Care) were permitted to administer dialysis at Mediclinic hospitals.
