Olaide WaheedLife Brenthurst hospital visiting hours are the times set aside by the hospital management to allow patients receive visitors. This can help them get the morale support, and the encouragement that they need, as well as fresh supplies of items they need to help them cope with long hospital stays while recovering from medical procedures.
This is a 233 bed hospital with 11 operating theatres. It also has a standby 24 hour accident emergency care unit, as well as dedicated units for maternity care, surgical care, and infectious diseases. With its comprehensive medical services, this is a pillar to the Brenthurst community; it is a medical center in which the people have come to rely on.
Members of the community who have loved ones receiving care at the hospital will find the visiting schedule very important.

How To Go About Your Visit
The first thing to do is to make sure that you have the correct name of the person you wish to visit. It should be the official name; not a nickname.
Then make sure you know the exact reason why the person is receiving care at the hospital. That will be the ward where the person will be.
Then check the list above to find the corresponding visiting times. If you need to visit outside that visiting hour, then please contact the hospital first.
You may need directions from your present location to the hospital. The hospital address is at 4 Park Lane, Parktown, Johannesburg, 2193.
At the proper time, arrive at the hospital, and go to the front desk. Give them your name, the name of the patient you wish to visit, and your relationship to the patient.
The nursing staff will give you directions, as well as instructions.
