Travelling from Zimbabwe
ENT and head & neck care for patients from Zimbabwe
Your doctor in Zimbabwe sends the referral and scans securely. The rooms then help you plan the practical side, including medical aid paperwork and travel, before your in-person consultation at Netcare Milpark or, for children, Netcare Mulbarton.
Medical aid & funders
Some Zimbabwean funders may authorise treatment in Johannesburg. On request, the practice provides the clinical motivation and coding that funders ask for.
Cimas Health Group
Cimas may consider referral to Johannesburg, subject to its own pre-authorisation process and your benefit option. Confirm cover with Cimas directly.
Other Zimbabwean medical aid societies
Confirm cross-border cover and required documentation with your fund before travel.

Your records & POPIA
Sending medical records from Zimbabwe to a practice in South Africa is a cross-border transfer of personal information, which may also be regulated by the data protection law of Zimbabwe. The secure referral portal explains which information is transferred, and where it is processed, and asks for explicit consent before anything is submitted.
