Empangeni keeps one timetable for the whole hospital, general wards, ICU and high care alike, which makes it simpler than most: three hours a day, every day. It lies about 160km north of Durban and takes patients who would otherwise travel to the city, so the morning slot suits families driving in from Zululand and getting home before dark.
