ECSPERT

Eastern Cape specialists!

More work. Less admin.

ECSPERT connects Eastern Cape attorneys and government departments with a vetted panel of medico-legal professionals — based primarily in the Eastern Cape, with specialists elsewhere in South Africa where a matter calls for it — and we handle the coordination, invoicing, and turnaround so nobody else has to.

How it works

Three steps, one point of contact.

1

You send the instruction.

One point of contact, whatever the discipline mix.

2

We coordinate the panel.

Matched by discipline, registration category, and availability — never by anything else.

3

You get a quality-checked report, on time.

We chase the admin and the payment. You don't.

1,132
medico-legal claims recorded by the Eastern Cape Department of Health in 2024 — more than any other province
R20–40bn
outstanding contingent liability reported against that claims burden

Much of that burden requires exactly the kind of multi-disciplinary expert input a fragmented, out-of-province referral system struggles to deliver quickly or consistently. We exist to keep that expertise, and that value, in the province.

Why ECSPERT

Built around how this work actually gets done.

Eastern Cape-rooted

Headquartered in Gqeberha, with a panel drawn primarily from the province, plus vetted specialists elsewhere in South Africa when a specific discipline calls for it.

Vetted

Every professional on our panel is known, credentialed, and quality-checked before we put their name forward.

Coordinated

One point of contact for multi-disciplinary instructions, not five separate professionals and five separate invoices.

We carry the admin

Instruction management, invoicing, and payment-chasing sit with us, not with the professional doing the clinical work or the attorney managing the file.
