Admission
Our admission process can be made much easier for you, if the following simple guidelines are followed.

- Patients have to present their medical aid card and identity document on admission. Persons under the age of 18 have to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- To speed up admission, a pre-admission form is available from the resident doctor`s rooms and the hospital`s reception, and should be either handed through to the hospital`s reception or faxed through to us prior to hospitalisation. Please click here to find our contact details.
- Or visit our Pre-Authorization department in the hospital at reception.
- Also refer to the “Tariffs” and “Discharge” sections below, for more information on pre-payment and payment procedures.
Discharge
On leaving, do not forget to collect your medication and x-rays.
Process Manager
Our co-ordinator and client service sister serves as a link between the hospital, patients, doctors and staff. Should you need any assistance please contact the officer at the reception desk of our hospital. If you are from out of town, the Client service sister and reception desk has a list of accommodation near the hospital for family members.
Service monitoring
In keeping with our goal to continue providing high quality care; we monitor our service to patients on an ongoing basis. On discharge patients are asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their stay at the hospital. Participation is voluntary, but this will assist the hospital management to address any problems and improve our service to you.
We especially welcome any suggestions our patients may have. If you have any suggestions for us, please send us an e-mail at Melanie.Lubbe@lifehealthcare.co.za.
Tariffs
- Our hospital charges patients at medical aid / medical scheme rates.
- A prepayment is required on hospitalisation, from patients not covered by medical aid or a medical scheme.
- It is recommended that private patients contact the hospital`s accounts department prior to admission to establish the estimated hospital cost.
- Patients requesting accommodation in private wards will be requested to pay the private ward rate on admission.
Visitor Information
We welcome all of our patients` visitors, as we know what a difference the support of close family and friends can make.
