About Akeso
|
Akeso was the mythological goddess of the Healing Process. We chose Akeso because of our belief that healing, especially in the treatment of symptoms associated with psychiatric and psychological distress, requires a process-driven, comprehensive, multi-layered approach. At our Akeso Clinics, we offer a truly multi-disciplinary service-offering in line with best current international practice. Our professional teams and dedicated nurses ensure that every patient's stay with us is geared towards long-term relief from debilitating symptoms. Our daily programs encourage our patients to participate fully in their own recovery, to begin to take more responsibility for their health, their loved ones and their daily business.

Akeso Parktown is open!
At a wonderful opening event on Thursday, March 15, Sr. Patience Ntamane from the DoH presented us with our long-awaited license.
The Parktown project, culminating in our beautiful, flagship, purpose-built building, has been years in the making, but gauging from the overwhelmingly positive feedback from everyone who has visited, it's been worth the wait.
Phase 1 can accommodate 60 patients, both voluntary and assisted, and Phase 2, which will be ready in late June, will provide a further 42 beds. When complete, we will have 30 consulting rooms, most of which have already been allocated to psychiatrists, psychologists and other professionals.
We will begin admitting patients into our General and DDU programs from Monday 19th.
To refer your patients, or to find out more about Akeso Parktown, please call us on (27) 011 5909500 today.
