Port Shepstone Hospital Visiting Hours
Labour and maternity ward 14:00 to 16:00
The general wards and the maternity ward keep different hours at Port Shepstone, and this catches families out more often than anything else. General visiting is a single hour at 11:00 and again at 18:00, but the labour and maternity ward runs a longer two-hour window from 14:00, when the general wards are closed. Check which ward you are visiting before you leave home. These are described by the hospital as current or temporary times, so they are more likely than most to change. As the referral hospital for the whole of Ugu, the wards are busy and two visitors per bed is the practical limit. If in doubt, 039 688 6000 will tell you whether the ward is open to visitors today.
