Data Management Centre

In 2002 the PHRU left its small space in the hospital's maternity department and moved to a new research unit in the New Nurses Home. Dr Reg Broekmann, who was then the hospital's chief executive, and the Gauteng health department agreed to provide the space.

The new unit was officially opened by Gauteng's MEC for health, Gwen Ramokgopa, and the archbishop of Cape Town, Njongonkulu Ndungane.

PHRU is a world class research centre and has been recently renovated and extended. The clinic now has separate paediatric section. The main clinic comprises a reception area, two waiting areas, 11 consulting rooms, one phlebotomy room, three counselling rooms and a children’s play therapy area.

The paediatric section has seven consulting rooms, a phlebotomy room, an immunisation room and two counselling rooms.

All examination rooms are equipped with examination couches, diagnostic and essential equipment. A fully equipped emergency cart, with defibrillator and oxygen is maintained in the clinic.

The clinic now has over 5,000 patient visits monthly.
