Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital Visiting Hours
With 1 075 beds this is one of the biggest hospitals in South Africa, and finding the right ward takes longer than the visiting hour allows if you have not asked first. Phone 031 907 8111 and get the ward name and block before you travel. Both visiting periods are a single hour, seven days a week, and the wards fill quickly at 13:00 and again at 18:00. The Place of Comfort crisis centre operates separately from general visiting and access there is arranged with its own staff. Outpatients run from 07:30 to 16:00 and the emergency department is open 24 hours.
