St. Mary’s Hospital

Last week, I had the special experience of returning to St Mary’s Hospital, where I was born. I was hoping to find out my exact birth time and was directed to the labor ward. Some of the staff seemed certain that we hadn’t come at the most appropriate time and suggested we should have arrived earlier. Thankfully, we were assisted by Ms. Zingisa Mpukwana, a Business and Information Management Intern, who made all the difference. Even though it was nearly her break time, she welcomed us warmly and offered to help without hesitation. She was kind, efficient, and professional. Ms. Mpukwana broke the stereotype that public hospitals are slow or poorly managed. She was thoughtful, hard-working, and handled everything with grace. What could have been a frustrating visit became a positive and memorable experience. A heartfelt thank you to her for going the extra mile. St Mary’s Hospital is fortunate to have her on their team.

All positive. From the casualty section to the wards. The staff are friendly and always helpful. The hospital wards are spotless, strict and professional. Would recommend them as a government hospital.

I need them. I don't know why so many people had to wait 8 hours for one doctor instead of having many doctors to help us. I was sadly hurt going here..I had a miracle happened to me a beautiful one by GOD himself

The staff was rude. Telling my wife that I can't be with her. That our child might be in distress meantime while doing a scan at private ultrasound place. Our child was healthy and in no distress. I feel like they were homophobic. I'd rather go to another place. Its a dangerous area to boot. They don't understand social anxiety nor seperation anxiety. I'm deeply disappointed.

If you are someone caught where you don't have medical aid and are going to have a baby just like my wife and I did the thought of a government hospital is scary. What I can genuinely tell you is st Mary's is the absolute best option you have for a government hospital . My wife was in labour for over 45 hours until it had to be moved to an emergency c section. The staff in the labour ward were amazing and extremely experienced they tried everything but unfortunately our baby was just too stubborn and c section become absolutely necessary. The hospital is clean and have doctors and nurses that are extremely experienced. Just one afternoon spent there I witnessed atleast 5 successfull births take place. Great option if private is not an option you will be in good hands.
