Universitas Private Hospital is one of two hospitals within the Netcare Group that is in a public private partnership (PPP) with the Free State Department of Health. The co-location project between Community Hospital Management, in which Netcare is a shareholder, and the Free State Department of Health originated in 2002.It was a bitter-sweet moment for nursing staff in the neonatal intensive care unit at Netcare Alberlito Hospital, when they said their goodbyes to prematurely born Tayla Grace Christie who, weighing a mere 995 grams at birth, was recently discharged after spending the first 75 days of her life in their care.Doctors had to deliver Tayla early, at 31 weeks, when she was diagnosed with extreme intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
