Vryheid Hospital Visiting Hours
Vryheid runs three visiting periods a day, morning, afternoon and evening, and they are the same every day of the week. That is more generous than most hospitals of its size and makes it practical to visit before work or after it. The 10:00 slot is usually the quietest. With 15 clinics and 58 mobile points feeding into it, patients are often admitted from a long way out, so if you are driving in from the farms the morning hour gives you the whole day to get home. If in doubt, 034 982 2111 will tell you whether the ward is open to visitors today.
