Visiting times
All wards
15:00 to 16:00

Entabeni keeps the same two hours for every ward, which is unusual in a hospital of this size and makes visiting straightforward. Beyond its 359 beds it has a 50-bed rehabilitation unit for people recovering from brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury, where stays run into weeks and the ward is used to families coming often. The renal unit sits next door at Life St Joseph's.
