a month agoI am currently admitted in this hospital. Some of the nurses are are so helpful but the other side of it is some of the nurses are so rude, and cold towards me. They can't even say or spell my name correctly. It's either they lack common sense or just don't care as they only care about their paycheck. I request the P.R.O to look into it.. Funds need to be invested to renovate certain wards, for example in ward 10 certain parts of the ceiling needs to be cleaned. .

a month agoThis review is for the nurses of MHGH. Thank you for always treating my grandfather with such care and always having a smile on their faces and helpful to all our questions, especially ward 6. God bless you all. 🏽 To the new Doctors who just started off at MHGH. Please embody the spirit of Ubuntu, you have many years of service to lack empathy for people. A job you chose to help people.

3 months agoIf I could give zero stars, would. The nurses will be right there, if you even need assistance to get out of the bed because you cannot walk or even if you need water they not bother. The security act as they own the hospital. They talk anyway to patients and tell patients when they can go toilet or not. As for person that brings the meals, will park the trolley with the food and say ' get it your self, if you get up get it your self, then starve'. The doctors are also rude to patients. The toilet is always in a filthy state. I was discharged by my partner and put into a private hospital instead. The way that hospital is and the staff, is a disgrace to Mahatma Gandhi's name.

4 months agoI'm overwhelmed with the service I have received once again in this hospital from the day I was admitted till the last day of giving birth to my baby . The nurses and doctors were up to thier post in ward 7 with good patients service although we though as suger. Diebitic mom's we won't sevive but we all gave birth and walked out of the hospital alive Even labour ward team , theatre eam on the 17/02/2025 were exceptional on thier service not forgetting the nurse's and doctors in ward 3A who gave hope and did such an admiring work with us in the ward. Cleaning team wasn't upto standard but they were doing thier best after the complain I made about cleanliness keep it up Even kitchen staff that serves food well done Thank you Balungile Pretty Mbili

a year agoToday 9/02/2024, my appointment for an ultrasound. Sitting on a wheelchair in the ultrasound department waiting room from 9:30am and now it’s 14:15. 16 patients before me. Toilet facilities in the department are out of order. How do pregnant women and others sit for so many hours waiting their turn to be seen to. Very disappointed with the service. There’s no urgency. 15:32- we told ultrasound department is short staffed , we should go home and come on another date. Very sad
