Admission to our hospitals is either through the Casualty Department (for medical emergencies) or through referrals and appointments.

One has the right to choose between a General Ward and a Private Ward and one will be expected to pay the required hospital rates.
If admitted as a GOVERNMENT patient admission to Private Ward is with concurrence of the attending Specialist.
The Private Ward charges are not covered in full by some Medical Aid Insurance Schemes. It is therefore expected that where shortfalls are anticipated these should be paid in cash by yourself / guardian / employer as an advance payment before admission.
Payment for admission should be made to the Admission Clerk by way of cash deposit payment, submission of a Medical Aid Insurance Scheme Claim Form or the Assisted Medical Assistance Treatment Order supported by:
