Lenmed Nursing College is a private higher education institution operating under the Lenmed Group, a South African private hospital group founded in 1984 when a group of doctors raised funds to build a healthcare facility south of Johannesburg to serve marginalised communities. Lenmed has since grown into a group operating 19 hospitals across South Africa, Mozambique and Botswana. The college is located at 1st Floor, Lenasia Square, 4 Station Place, Lenasia, 1827, Gauteng.
