Olaide WaheedNetcare Kingsway hospital visiting hours are the official times set aside for patients at the hospital to receive the affection and attention of their friends and family members. These times have been carefully selected so as to minimally obstruct the treatment they are receiving, and the rest which is necessary for them to recover.
Netcare Kingsway is a 235-bed hospital, with six operating theatres, and a 24-hour emergency care unit for accident victims. The hospital is very important to the people of Durban, and surrounding areas, and there is a lot of coming and going on the premises.
To keep things orderly, and to ensure the safety of the patients, medical staff, and visitors, the hospital management has put the following in place:
