Olaide WaheedLife Bay View Hospital visiting hours are the times set aside by the hospital management to allow patients receive love and encouragement from family members. This love and encouragement will then become an additional boost to the medical attention provided by the hospital.
The hospital offers world class medical services; suitable to the needs of the higher classes of people who live in the hills of Mossel Bay, and surrounding areas. The hospital targets a high end market, but still has an accident and emergency unit which serves the larger community.
To maintain its status, and to ensure that the hospital remains safe and secure, management has scheduled the visiting hours.
