Practising privileges
Bring your practice to Andrews
Andrews grants practising privileges to private consultants, who admit and manage their own patients here and bill for their own professional services. Clinical departments are led by chiefs, among them the Chief of Cardiology and the Chief of Neurosurgery, who sit on the hospital’s Medical Executive Committee.
The hospital is working towards international accreditation, and the medical staff are part of that work.
To ask about practising privileges, write to the hospital’s administration using the form below, or call the main line.

More room to practise
