Pietermaritzburg: 3 clinics

World-class medicine, priced for the community.

Desmed was founded in 2021 to bring world-class care to communities that were underserved, at a price they can afford. We use modern technology and carefully designed clinics to do it, and we only use high-quality medicines and treatments.

  • Expert care

    We diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, with particular expertise in skin conditions that have proven challenging for other healthcare providers.

  • All ages welcome

    From children to seniors, so the whole family can be seen in one place.

    We work on a walk-in basis. Come when you need us, without booking first.
