How To Go About Your Visit
The first thing to do is to make sure that you have the correct name of the patient you wish to visit. Patients usually check into hospitals using their original names.
Then you need to know the main reason why the person is at the hospital. That will tally with a ward.
Then check the ward (or that which most resembles the ward) from the list above, and find the scheduled visiting times.
You may need to get directions to the hospital; the address is: Physical address: 40 Park Drive, Port Elizabeth, 6001, South Africa.
At the corrct time, arrive at the hospital, and go to the front desk office. Give them your name, the name of the patient you want to visit, your relationship, and the ward where they are receiving treatment.
The nursing staff will then give you directions and instructions.
If you need to visit outside the normal visiting hours then you need to contact the hospital first.
