A New Era for Women’s Health at Chris Hani Baragwanath
Academic Hospital
At Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, hope has a sound, the gentle hum of our HIFU machine, the only operational unit in South Africa. And every day, it’s changing lives.
For many women living with fibroids, the road to healing can be long and painful.
But HIFU is rewriting that story:
- No surgery
- No incision, no scars
- Less pain, faster recovery
- Hope restored — futures rebuilt
Our medical team received specialised training at Chongqing Haifu Hospital in China, ensuring that our patients receive world-class care with precision, compassion and excellence.
Today, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital has become a national referral centre for HIFU, welcoming women from across Gauteng and beyond, all seeking a safer, gentler pathway to healing.
Every woman who walks into our HIFU Unit arrives with questions, but many leave with confidence, relief, and smiles that tell a story.
We are proud to champion innovation that protects dignity, preserves fertility, and transforms lives. Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital
Leading, innovating and caring for South Africa’s women.

This morning, the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital management team together with the HIFU Unit for Fibroid Treatment, hosted a delegation from the Chongqing Municipal Government of China. The visit represents both a national and continental benchmark, while strengthening bilateral health relations in line with broader national and provincial health diplomacy initiatives.

The High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital has demonstrated outstanding clinical outcomes and remains the only facility of its kind in South Africa.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. It works by directing high-intensity ultrasound waves from outside the body onto the fibroids in the uterus. These waves generate localized high temperatures at the targeted fibroid tissue, causing thermal coagulation and destruction of the fibroid cells without harming the surrounding healthy tissue.

Over time, the body naturally absorbs and eliminates the damaged fibroid cells, leading to a reduction in fibroid size and an improvement in symptoms. The procedure is highly precise, does not require surgical incisions or general anesthesia, preserves the uterus, and generally allows for a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
