St Mary's Hospital, Mariannhill Visiting Hours
St Mary's keeps the same two hours every day of the week, one at midday and one in the evening. The hospital's switchboard has been unreliable, so if you are phoning to check on a patient use 066 185 5227 rather than the main number, and the same number after hours and at weekends. The hospital is a short way off the N3 at Mariannhill, which makes it one of the easier Durban hospitals to reach by car, but the last part of Hospital Road is narrow and parking near the entrance fills up before the visiting hour starts. A quick call to 031 717 1000 before you set out will save you a wasted trip.
