Bridging the gap between patients and care.
We are a registered non-emergency medical transport company based in Boksburg, built so that no patient misses treatment simply because they couldn't get there.
Why we started MediRide.
Every month, thousands of South Africans miss treatment because they cannot get there — elderly patients, people on chemotherapy or dialysis, post-operative and mobility-impaired patients.
Missed appointments waste consultation and treatment slots, worsen outcomes and lead to avoidable admissions. Discharged patients without confirmed transport even hold hospital beds for longer. Existing providers are small and local, and there has been no trusted, technology-led name to turn to.
MediRide SA was built to fill that gap: a professional, dignified service that works with doctors, hospitals and families, and proves every trip.
Our mission
To get every patient who can't drive or use public transport to their appointment safely, on time and with dignity.
- Safety — vetted, first-aid trained drivers and suitable vehicles
- Dignity — patients lead the conversation; conditions are never discussed
- Reliability — GPS-logged, timestamped proof of every trip
Doctors first, then everyone.
The receptionist is the first to know a patient has a transport problem. So we start at the front desk, build trust practice by practice, and grow from there.
Free for practices
A web-based booking portal for reception teams at no cost, with no payment handling and no admin.
Built for repeat care
Oncology and renal patients travel on fixed schedules, so trips repeat every week.
Our own technology
A passenger app, driver app, practice portal and dashboards, all on one shared system built in-house.
