MEDITECH South Africa Community

We strive to conduct our business in a socially responsible manner and are committed to supporting ongoing research related to critical healthcare issues.

Mandela Day

In celebration of Mandela Day, MEDITECH SA came together to make a positive impact in the community through two key initiatives, embodying the spirit of Ubuntu and collective action. Our employees were eager to contribute their time and effort to support local causes.

One group of employees spent the day at Nokuphila School in Midrand, where they helped revitalize the school’s fence with a fresh coat of paint. The project was made possible through generous donations from staff members, who helped purchase the necessary materials. Their hard work gave new life to the school, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed.

Meanwhile, the finance team visited Botshabelo Children's Home, where they donated essential goods and spent quality time with the children. Their visit brought joy to the home, further showcasing our commitment to helping those in need. These initiatives were a great success, and we are proud of the difference we made together in honour of Nelson Mandela’s legacy.

Stationery Drive

MEDITECH SA launched a stationery drive for a local school, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding support and generosity. Your contributions made a significant difference in the lives of students in need. The school reported that they successfully distributed stationery packs to 60 learners in grades 4 and 5, helping to bridge gaps, especially for grade 5 students. They also identified the top 5 learners in grades 6 and 7 to receive Christmas gifts, bringing smiles to many faces. Thank you once again for your dedication to positively impacting our community!

Let there be light

MEDITECH is converting lighting sources to LEDs and other high efficiency bulbs to reduce the amount of electricity consumption.

Won’t go to waste

We recycle paper, plastic, glass and other recyclable materials. We also collect plastic bottle caps which get melted into ingots and then sold for plastic recycling. The monies received go towards purchasing wheelchairs for disadvantaged individuals.

Passion for learning

MEDITECH is a company that appreciates and promotes higher learning. For many years, we have been aware of a shortage of good technical skills in IT. We believe one of the best ways to address this shortage is for companies such as ours to create opportunities for aspiring individuals to develop their skills and talents. With the assistance of Torque IT, MEDITECH is now assisting several young people, so they can get a formal IT qualification whilst working. We are hoping that our investment in these students will enable them to find meaningful employment in the IT industry.

In 2016, five students successfully completed the first part of their learnership training though Torque IT. They are now being hosted by Vodacom IT Support for workplace training. MEDITECH is committed to making a difference in healthcare IT education and is proud to be able to offer these learnerships.

Encouraged by the success of our first group, we have employed 10 more students for the 2017/2018 year.
