How To Apply For A Surgical Procedure

All applications need to be accompanied by a referral letter from a clinic, hospital, doctor or another charity organisation. In this referral letter, your medical condition should be explained in detail so that we can assess the information to make sure that you are indeed a good candidate for OHH. No telephonic, social media or other forms of application will be considered. Only formal applications accompanied by a referral letter from the necessary medical caregivers will be acknowledged. Our focus is on patients who need once off surgeries to get back to their everyday lives, but have been on state hospital waiting lists for years.

Please send applications, referral letters & FICA documents to applications@operationhealinghands.co.za
