Chains and independents

Of the 195 private hospitals we hold, 129 (66%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Mediclinic Southern Africa (37), Life Healthcare (35), NetCare (30), Netcare St Augustine's Hospital (7) and Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital (6). The other 34% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
