How To Go About Your Visit

The first thing to make sure about is the reason why your loved one is at the hospital. You need to know exactly what kind of care they are receiving at the hospital. That will determine what ward they are in, and under whose care they are.

You also need to be sure you have the correct name of the patient; this is how the hospital can track down your loved one in such a large facility.

Then you need to contact the hospital, or the doctors to get permission, and the best time to visit with your loved ones. You may use any of the contact details above, or contact the hospital via: Telephone

031 251 6700, Fax 031 265 0952. Email: [email protected]

You may need directions to the hospital. The hospital address is 7 Harry Gwala Road (Spine Road), Westville, 3630.

At the proper time, arrive at the hospital, and then go to the front desk. Tell them who you wish to see, and tell them your relationship to the patient.

What To Expect When Visiting The Hospital

The hospital is a delicate place, and many of the patients are in a fragile state. As a result, extra care needs to be taken to protect them.

The hospital may require you to wash your hands, and wear a mask upon arrival.

Children younger than 12 may not be allowed into the wards, unless upon special consideration.

No food and drink may be allowed into the wards.

All phones must be set to silent or vibrate so as not to disturb other patients in the wards/rooms.

The hospital may refuse visits if it is deemed that they may negatively affect the patients.
