Welcome To Purple House Medical Centre
Dr Mahendra C. Maharaj Practice Inc. was founded in November 1991 at Kagiso Mall, before moving to the current address in 1995. Affectionately named “purple house surgery” by the local community after the colour it had been painted so to stand out, the practice then expanded and formally became Purple House Medical Centre in 2010.
The practice serves the Kagiso, Azaadville and Witpoortjie regions and strives to provide comprehensive primary healthcare services at world class standards. Our aim is to continue to improve the health of the community we serve and apart from general medical care, also includes dental, psychology and podiatry services.
The practice also contributes to various NGO’s serving the community - particularly orphanages and organisations serving disabled people.
