About Us

Doctor-led. Designed around you.

Our Founder

Dr Nikhil Maharaj is a South African-trained medical doctor with experience in emergency, maritime and aviation medicine. He has cared for patients in multiple international healthcare environments and brings a strong background in acute care, clinical decision making, preventative medicine, cardiometabolic health, evidence-based pharmaceuticals and continuity of care.

“I created Aurelia Private Health because I believe that healthcare should not begin only when disease is diagnosed or symptoms demand attention. I wanted to build a completely individualised model of medicine, one that identifies priority risks earlier and stays closely involved long after the initial consultation.

My global medical exposure enhanced my skills of structured assessment, careful coordination and long-term follow-up, hence Aurelia Private Health brings these standards to South Africa, in a more private and personalised format.”

Dr Nikhil Maharaj, Founder & Lead Doctor

His philosophy is simple: understand and identify risk, intervene early and optimise trajectory. Age With Intention™.

Frequently Asked

Still have questions? Contact us

What is Aurelia Private Health?

Aurelia Private Health is a private, doctor-led preventative health service, built to identify your health risk as a whole, before it presents as symptoms or illness.

We provide clarity on where your health stands today, where it may be heading and precisely what you can do to improve it.

Who is Aurelia Private Health designed for?

Our members are those seeking an entirely personalised healthcare experience.

We are designed for individuals who value their time, privacy, performance and long-term health. Those who value being educated and involved every step of the way in their healthcare journey.

Do I need a referral to join?

No.

You may apply directly.

If you already have a GP or specialist, our doctors can work alongside them with your consent.

What is Aurelia Age™?

Aurelia Age™ is our proprietary doctor-developed health indicator, comparing your age in years, with your physiological age.

It combines body composition data, functional health metrics, lifestyle factors, selected biomarkers and advanced imaging quantifiers into a simple single measure.

Why is my Aurelia Age™ tracked over time?

A single assessment provides a brief overview at that point in time. Repeated assessments allow trends to emerge.

Tracking Aurelia Age™ provides a practical way to measure progress, evaluate interventions and better understand how health behaviours and clinical changes influence your overall health trajectory.

Can my Aurelia Age™ change?

Yes.

Unlike chronological age, which increases every year, Aurelia Age™ is designed to be dynamic. As measurable aspects of health improve or decline, your Aurelia Age™ may change accordingly.

The purpose of the metric is to provide a meaningful way to monitor progress and visualise changes in health over time.

What does my Private Care include?

Services vary by option and may include assessment at your home or office, direct doctor access, scheduled reviews, advanced imaging, repeat testing, secure online portal access, connected home-health tracking that is monitored by your private doctor and coordinated specialist or allied-healthcare support.

Where are appointments, tests and imaging done?

Assessments, body composition, functional fitness, blood and urine testing is conducted at your home or office by your private doctor. Virtual consultations are scheduled when clinically appropriate. Medical imaging with private transportation is coordinated with our radiology partners and completed at an appropriate imaging facility.

Do I need to be unwell to join?

No.

Most members join because they want a clearer understanding of their health, not because they have a specific medical condition.

Our approach is proactive and preventative rather than reactive, tailored to each individual’s circumstances.

Can Aurelia Private Health coordinate my healthcare?

Yes.

We coordinate all required investigations, specialist referrals and other aspects of your healthcare journey to provide a truly seamless experience.

Is my information confidential?

Absolutely.

Privacy, discretion and professionalism are fundamental principles of Aurelia Private Health. All personal health information is managed in accordance with applicable professional and privacy standards.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes.

Depending on your needs, consultations may be conducted in person or virtually where appropriate.

Is membership limited?

Yes.

To maintain a high level of personalisation and doctor accessibility, Aurelia Private Health intentionally limits the number of active members.

Why should I choose concierge healthcare?

Health and time are among the few assets that cannot be replaced. Concierge healthcare offers a completely personalised and efficient experience in the location our clients feel most comfortable.

How do I purchase a Private Care plan?

Please join our Private Waitlist. Each application is reviewed personally as places become available. There is no obligation or payment required to apply.

Do you guarantee specific outcomes?

No medical assessment, test or treatment can guarantee a specific outcome.

Aurelia Private Health provides doctor-led assessment, evidence-based recommendations and ongoing guidance to help you make informed decisions about your health.

Why was Aurelia Private Health created?

Aurelia Private Health was created around a simple belief: healthcare should not begin only when illness appears.

Why should I understand my health if I don’t have symptoms?

High blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer may be present for years before symptoms appear.

Aurelia Private Health uses evidence-based measures to understand your current risk, make informed decisions and treat problems before they present as symptoms.

Can Aurelia Private Health prescribe medication or treatment?

All treatment planning and prescription oversight are provided when clinically appropriate.

Membership does not guarantee a prescription, procedure, referral or specific therapy.

What costs are included?

Your fee covers the services listed in your selected care option.

Third party costs including laboratory testing, imaging, allied-healthcare, specialist consultations and treatment are additional and may be eligible for medical aid reimbursement.

All costs are confirmed upfront before proceeding.

Can I view my reports and results online?

Individuals on our Precision and Signature tiers receive access to the secure member portal.

This portal provides continual access to relevant reports, results and health trends over time.

Is my private doctor available for medical emergencies?

No.

Please take note of response times in your preferred Private Care Tier.

For urgent or emergent medical concerns, please contact the appropriate medical service immediately.

Can I claim from my medical aid?

Aurelia Private Health fees are paid privately.

You may submit eligible invoices (including those from third party costs) to your medical aid, but reimbursement depends on your individual plan and cannot be guaranteed.

Your health is your most valuable asset. Understand it. Protect it. Age With Intention™
