Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital (DGMAH), formerly known as Ga-Rankuwa Hospital, was built in 1972 and is situated in Ga-Rankuwa, on the
north-western part of Tshwane Region of Gauteng Province.
DGMAH was initially a regional hospital, tertiary services were added subsequent to the establishment of Medical University of South Africa
(MEDUNSA) in 1974, to which DGMAH serves as the health sciences teaching platform.
DGMAH gained academic status in 2011 which was followed by the establishment of the new Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU),
building on the legacy of the old Medunsa.
DGMAH is also a teaching platform for the Ga-Rankuwa Nursing College
