Parents are encouraged to bring their child s favourite toy, blanket or pillow on admission, to provide some reassurance. The warm and comfortable maternity unit is secured with a gate and monitored round the clock by means of a closed circuit camera. A fully equipped 10 cot neonatal ICU forms part of the unit. This has saved amongst, most premature babies born in S.A. and a baby of only 550 grams has survived. There is also a well baby clinic and immunisation clinic, and a family planning service is run by a family planning sister.
Accommodation is provided in private, semi-private and general wards.
An a la carte menu with wine is offered. Admission Today most medical aids have to pre-authorise a patient s admission to hospital. Patients are therefore encouraged to enquire of their medical aid timeously what requirements are applicable, before admitting themselves into hospital. These requirements may include a deposit or co-payment, which must be made to the hospital prior to or on admission. Patients are also encouraged to fill out admission forms prior to the actual date that they are to be hospitalised.
