The recently completed Netcare Alberton Hospital , designed by A3 Architects Johannesburg , is the amalgamation of two existing hospitals , the Union and the Clinton hospitals . The old hospitals sat in the heart of the Alberton CBD within a block of each other . The Clinton Hospital focused more on maternity and oncology , and the Union Hospital , which started in a house and expanded into the multi-story hospital that serviced the medical needs of Alberton and the surrounding suburbs , specialised in level 1 certified trauma .
This is a story of the hospitals that grew with a community and reached a point where further expansion in the CBD itself wasn ’ t feasible . In recognition of the community it grew up with , Netcare chose a greenfield site that was still within a kilometer of the original facilities . This would allow the consolidation and expansion of the facility into a state-of-the-art hospital that would continue to loyally support the residents of Alberton .
The Netcare Alberton Hospital ( NAH ) has developed as a specialised hospital . To put this in context its worth looking at a conventional facility and comparing the data on her sister hospital in Cape Town , the Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital ( CBMH ).
Netcare Hospital Alberton is an example of state-of-the-art hospital design that still very much prioritises the needs of the wider community in its location and structure
