Out-of-Hospital IV Infusion Rooms
Our practice in Northcliff, Johannesburg, provides out-of-hospital IV infusions for patients who are undergoing treatment for medical conditions that don’t require admission to hospital.
We aim to make you as comfortable as possible in a warm, calm and friendly environment.
We can offer IV infusions, on referral from your treating doctor, for a range of medications including:
- Antibiotics

- Rehydration therapy
- Cortisone (steroids)
- Iron infusion therapy
- Vitamin therapy
The infusion process
- On visiting your treating medical doctor, ff there is a need for an IV infusion, a prescription is written;
- You then have the option of purchasing the medication directly, or sending us the prescription which will be forwarded to Scriptwise pharmacy who will dispense the medication to the Infusion Centre;
- An appointment is then made for the infusion;
- We require a copy of the prescription, as well as the medication, in order to run the infusion. We do not keep stock of medications at the practice and do not dispense medications.
The cost of the medication is billed to you or your medical aid by the pharmacy and the cost of this varies depending on what medication is prescribed.
The cost to administer the medication is billed at the Discovery Health rate. We are a cash practice with card facilities. You will be an issued an invoice that you can claim back from the medical aid.
