Osindisweni Hospital Visiting Hours
Osindisweni is nine kilometres outside Verulam and there is no shopping or waiting area at the gate, so plan to arrive close to the hour rather than early. The two periods are the same seven days a week. Most families come by taxi from Verulam or Ndwedwe, and the last leg is a quiet road, so the 13:00 slot is the easier one if you are travelling with children or leaving after dark is a concern. Phone 032 541 9200 to check which ward the patient is in before you set out, because the site is spread out.
