About Us

HISTORY

Our Story

Haemalife began as the brainchild of two friends brought together by their passion for haematology. They shared a common goal: to save lives and make a difference. The dream of Pieter De Witt and Hannes Koornhof became a reality when Haemalife opened its doors in 2015. The first stem cell transplant was successfully performed on the 3rd of February 2016 in our Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Netcare Kuils River Hospital. In 2015 Haemalife consisted of just 3 staff members. Today we are a large practice with multiple facets enabling us to offer holistic care.

We understand that patients have individual needs and our team is dedicated to ensuring that every patient that walks through our doors receives precision, personalised therapy. Care of a high standard given by our doctors, nurses, and support staff is our first priority. We endeavour to treat all patients and their loved ones with compassion, understanding and professionalism.
