How To Go About Your Visit
The first thing to do is to make sure you have the correct name of the person you want to visit. The correct name is the person’s official name, not a nickname.
Then you need to be sure that you know the exact reason why your loved one is at the hospital. That reason will correspond to a ward, which will correspond to a visiting time.
Then check the list above for the ward, and the corresponding time, which is when you should visit.
You may need to get directions from your present location to the hospital. The address is: 21 Dane Road, Glen Austin, Midrand, 1685 south Africa.
At the proper time, arrive at the hospital, and go to the front desk. Give them your name, the name of the patient, and then your relationship.
The nurses will give you further instructions.
Please ensure that you go to the front desk first before entering into the wards.
If you need to visit outside the normal visiting hours then you need to first contact the hospital.
