Dr Stander Lephalale Contact Details

Dr Hester Stander is a general practitioner with a competency in obstetrics, working from rooms inside Mediclinic Lephalale in Limpopo. A GP who delivers babies is uncommon in the cities and important in a town like Lephalale, where the nearest specialist obstetrician is a long drive away.

Official contact channels

Rooms: 014 763 1347. Mediclinic groups the digits oddly as 014 7631 347; it is the same ten-digit number.
Mediclinic emergency number: 084 124, for emergencies only.
No email address is published.

A second number, 086 608 1786, is printed directly beneath the telephone number with no label. An unlabelled 086 number sitting beside a phone number is almost always a fax line, and it is not listed above as a way to reach the rooms.

What this organisation provides

General practice – first assessment, everyday illness, chronic disease management and referrals.
Obstetrics, listed alongside family medicine as a core competency. In practice that means antenatal care and delivery handled by the GP rather than by referral to a specialist.
Qualification published: MBChB, University of Pretoria, 2004.
Practises at Mediclinic Lephalale, the private hospital serving the town.

Lephalale sits roughly 300km from Polokwane and further from Pretoria, so a local GP who can manage a normal pregnancy and delivery removes a great deal of travel. Complications are still referred on, and that referral means a transfer over a long distance, which is worth discussing at the booking visit rather than in labour.

Address and operating information

Mediclinic Lephalale, corner Joe Slovo and Douwater Street, Extension 16, Onverwacht, 0556
Onverwacht is the residential area adjoining Lephalale town. The rooms are inside the hospital building, so hospital parking and access apply.
Older listings and the postal system still use Ellisras, the town’s former name, alongside Lephalale. Search both if you are looking the practice up elsewhere.
Consulting hours are not published. Confirm on the rooms number.
HPCSA registration number: MP0619698
Practice number: 0140000286192, which your medical scheme needs for claims.

Support and escalation routes

In labour or bleeding in pregnancy, go to the hospital maternity unit, not to the rooms. The rooms are inside Mediclinic Lephalale, but consulting rooms and the maternity unit are different places with different hours.
Confirm the maternity benefit with your scheme before the third trimester, and ask specifically what is covered if a complication forces a transfer to a specialist unit in another town.
Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
