[1] On 17 August 1905, the Boksburg-Benoni Hospital (BBH) opened its doors with beds for 70 patients.

BBH began as a joint hospital of the State and East Rand Proprietary Mines (ERPM), and can be attributed to the devotion and hard work of Capt Pomeroy Colley (a magistrate of Boksburg), Fred Heilman (consulting engineer, ERPM) B Owen Jones and Geo Constable and doctors J Campbell, McNeillie and J S Morton.

The first resident medical officer was Dr Norman Pern, the first matron Miss G Hackett and G Foster was the first secretary.

There were many difficulties in the first few years and drainage, a steam laundry, theatres and a nurses' home only appeared much later.

At first the hospital was very isolated and in August 1908 a constable was appointed and police whistles issued to all night personnel.

In 1939, the Provincial Administration appointed a commission to investigate and report on the possibility of free hospital services.
