Covid19 vaccination site, smooth and effortless. Understandably time consuming, but noticeably caring staff made for a good experience.

Poor care, Elderly people have to wait in huge lines for hours. Doctors do not give the best medication available but instead they distribute the median. My Granny passed on with Cancer but the doctors said she was fine for 1 year. They should have used their brains and given her a PET scan then start treatment. However they had failed in that duty and it cost a life.

I would like to thank doctors and staff at King Edward Hospital, for their warm and friendly welcome, when I and my staff went to receive our second vaccine jabs. Very professional and a pleasant experience. A big thank you.

Most horrible experience! Guards are so rude. They wanted proof that i called the hospital to bring someone in and insisted that they see my cellphone showing i called. What type of service is this? No social distancing. Public sector health department is absolutely shocking! No words. The state of the hospital inside wow !

I would like to thank all the relevant staff that works with the vaccination process at King Edward Hospital for their outstanding and world class service that we have received over the past two days. As undertakers yesterday going for our jabs and for their assistance today with the lady in the wheelchair. Thank you. You are the Best. Regards, Christoff Duminy.

One of the best hospital I know ,hard working nurses and doctors Ill forever be grateful for what they did to my grandma in December even though we lost her but they gave it their all , its true DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

Plenty of doctors as it is an academic hosp. Has adequate facilities and more that it is a public hospital and the rates are affordable

One of my staff members was stabbed and referred to this hospital ,my sincere acknoledgement goes to thr medical crew,however the security manning entrences and exits must be grommed to handle the public,public relations must not be swept under the carpet

Bad experience. The attitude of the employees to waiting for hours to be assisted.

I can’t express how impressed I am by this hospital. The building itself is in need of extensive repairs and maintenance, yet the doctors focus on the patients is intense, for hours, they are absolutely thorough and professional as are the nursing staff. The admin are efficient and well organized despite the huge amount of work that they have to endure. All staff are incredibly helpful and kind and empathetic. The quality of care that these good people provide, despite their tremendous workload is exceptional and excellent. Being a government hospital you would think that it would be a wreck but it is not. We are blessed and appreciative that we have such a good service for those who need it. Thank you to all who are involved in my partners care. I have absolute faith that this hospital and the staff are giving him the best care that he needs to recover. Big thumbs up.

Our day started very badly when I together with my wife went to Clairwood hospital and arrived at 5.45am for a periodic maternity visit. At Clairwood they sent us to King Edward without giving us any letter. After waiting for two hours while they were presenting a maternity symposium the nurse told us to go to Lamontville clinic at 11.50.I would have expected a little bit of understanding from them especially since my wife was transferred from a clinic to a hospital in Johannesburg due to a complication they discovered. The hospital is very overcrowded with no signs of where one has to go. People were sitting and sleeping on the floor. Toilets were very dirty for a healthy facility like that. The condition of some buildings needs a lot of attention. Nurses and admin need a lot of Patient interaction and care education. National Health insurance will be a total disaster with this kind of attitude from nurses but anyway it is just another way of getting extra taxes from poor people by our government

Never been to the hospital but they saved my moms life over this Christmas and New Years period. She was in a very bad way and they truly saved her. Thank you!

Was induced and gave birth on the 18th September 2020 at 22h25pm. Khayelihle Nhlangulela was my nurse...Super service,took good care of us plus with his calming music...Thank you so much Khayelihle,Mbali and the rest of the staff continue doing a great job.

I went to King Edward hospital to give birth, I salute nurses, senior nurses, doctors and everybody who works there. Guys I had a wonderful experience though giving birth is not easy but I have much love n respect for this facility. Sister Guru or Ngobese at labour ward I love you guys

Work there

Hospital staff are friendly and always happy to help. Strict protocols apply

My brother was brought in by ambulance with a possible ruptured tumor. After 18 hours still not seen by a doctor. And one may only visit during visiting hours. Why? Its not like youll get in anyones way. Get with the 21st century. Having ones family close by aids in quicker healing.

Can you please teach your staff at nursery about professionalism. The nursery is never in the room with the babies if something happens to the babies there’s no one looking after them. And when you need someone about the babies progress there’s no one. I don’t even know why I’m still kept here

We have been waiting for a bed since 4am in the morning and now it’s 10h16. We were transferred from poly clinic kwamashu (the service was bad aswell) the knew about us and the transfer. And we still had to wait

My first experience with a public hospital and I must say I was really impressed, it does get pretty busy but besides that the staff are very great and friendly.

I am very impressed with the hospital and staff, the staff are generally helpful and kind, my ward was clean and doctors are very thorough. I am very glad that I can say I had such a good experience. Thank you to all the staff.

Clean and neat

Very clean and good service inside but I didnt like the attitude of one of the security guards ( the lady one) on the day shift today, she was so rude that she denied me to see my new born babies(twins) and It was the only chance for me to see them before I go as I was leaving for Joburg (work) the same afternoon

If there was a -5 stars , I was going to give that ... Security 😡

Omg I was born there 2007 and its so beautiful I love it xoxo

Good DayI have never encounter such rudeness by someone that has to help the public. On the 26 August 2018 i phone at 12h41 to do an inquiry, how to go about with my referral letter.The gentleman on the other side put the phone down 3 times in my ears refusing to give his name. He worked at the reception i presume. I demand an apology from this gentleman.This is unacceptable no matter who you are or where you are from black,white,Indian or colored we need to be treated with the same respect.I will go to the news papers with this.Regards

Satisfactory service

The transportation to this area is good but it even better when you have your own. The process of admission is very efficient and you get treated fast.

Very helpful. I appreciate their help and kindness toward my family. Great facilities

Hi there, i would like to know if you still admit patients from the Chesterville area? I am pregnant and i have heard we are being transferred to Wentworth Hospital but im not comfortable with the reviews ive read about it. I was admitted at KEH back in March so i have a file already, please help.

Many folk out there have had horrendous experiences at the hands of our Health services. Many documented cases have resulted, rightly so, in high profile media coverage and whistle blowing.This has resulted in a generalisation of services offered at different institutions. I am in no way condoning or playing down these cases and wholly support the initiatives to improve the situation.What I would like to do is divert from the negatives with a positive and uplifting own experience.Whe entering the King Edward V111 hospital in Durban, the opening impression is doom and gloom with scenes of 17th and 18th century workhouses and doss houses coming to mind.The place is drab and dilapidated and looks awful.Renovations have commenced and are on going.The waiting room to obtain medical files is cold and uninviting.The gentleman who searches the files is an absolute gem and helpful in every way.Once you have your file and proceed to your ward for admission, you enter a totally different world. The ward is spotless.The staff are efficient and friendly. The equipment is new and well maintained.Check in and admission was a breeze.Had the operation today in a state of the art theatre.People dont generalise this hospital is amazing and made better by the awesome people who dedicate their lives to assisting other.A massive shout out to King Edward V111 hospital. Look past the scratches and see the beauty.Thank you staff

I was transferred from Wentworth hospital on the 11th of December 2018 maternity ward to king Edward due to a complication Im glad and happy the nurses and doctors in the maternity ward treated me well and on the 12th December 2018 I went into theatre and the staff there were even more nice I never get the opportunity to thank each one of them but Im so grateful for the love kindness my baby boy is now 5 months old.

For a public hospital I was attended to quickly . And further got good treatment . As for their skin clinic , its amazing !! :)

Well Done King Edward doctors and nursing staff and cleaning staff. N4A, you all ROCK!! WHOOP WHOOP. My Mom Mrs Kovacs was a patient for 17 days, discharged 20/05/2019, she was transferred from Albert Luthuli Hospital. Naturally we were filled with dread at the prospect of the transfer to King Edward. WOW!! The ward and the toilets were clean, the staff polite. Mom is not easy to please, but she cannot stop singing her praises for the staff and to name a few, Dr. Tlale, Dr Gumede (you are her Best star), Dr Sabaida, Dr Oliver, Nurse Carmen, Cleaner Thobile, you are a few of the stars. I named a few because Mom cannot remember All your names. The sisters in charge, Well Done. Never complaining even though you have to bed bath so many patients, never an attitude towards all the questions from family member. Doctors are on call ALMOST 24HOURS. Yes they actually work tirelessly in that ward. THANK YOU N4A, THANK YOU

My brother was admitted into casualty this morning 6:30 with referral from Wentworth hosp for burst appendix. Why on earth did the drs only decide to operate on him at 13:30. He has just come out of theatre and is in recovery with tremendous pain. I pray that there will be no complications or septicemia after burst appendix. Again, why did they wait so long before deciding to operate?????My brother is now critically ill, if it is because of negligence I wont let it rest. Burst appendix, and they wait 7 hours before they operate?????

Government Hospitals Arent The best The Service Is Usually terrible but this hospital wasnt so bad

Do you offer termination of pregnancy?

Well Done to the hospital. My father Mr Khubone came so ill a week ago and he was given a premier attention and very well; from casualy to amu and then to ward N3B. The staff is ethically. I would like to single out Sister Dlamini from N3B who played a key role yesterday as my daddy Mr Khubone had been discharged waiting for us to pick him; we suddenly noticed that he was getting very weak and restless which we reported to her. Without wasting time; she checked his sugar level and noticed that it was very low; decided to give him glucose and drip. They then with another sister requested him not to be discharged as they were monitoring him. I followed up at night and was told he is responding well. Praise God for saving Mr Khubones life and God does not forget

Doctors and staff are absolutely good, the ward however that I was put in was really not good, fans dont work, Cockroaches all over and bedding is torn n without pillows

It is such a wonderful hospital next to the school of medicine named after a global icon Nelson Mandela

Good service but i now feel like the hospital infrastructure is pretty old!

Although under construction. The doctors are still excellent

My daughter was transferred from Wentworth hospital, I have been trying to get hold of her, her phone is off, then Ive been calling the maternity ward whole afternoon and evening of yesterday but they never picked up.

I am so dissapointed,sad and confused.Yesterday I brought my mother as a transfer from the GP, she is known diabetic,hypertension,kidney impairment,..she had a private scan and was diagnosed gallbladder stones of which was the main reason Dr transferred her.When we got to the hospital we had to wait from 10h30-15h00 to take out the file and she was only seen after 16h00 in casualty by few doctors who were busy reading the file instead of examining the patient, then one Dr took bloods and discharge her, without doing anything to her then I was called to come and fetch her. The sister told me she has been discharged with TTO which we must collect on the following day because pharmacy was already closed,then I asked one of the male nurses to check what TTO written for her and he told me it was panado and buscopan (both as a stat dose) which she never had...to cut the story short I am sitting here at home with her suffering from severe pains because the hospital couldnt do anything about her gallstones..how i wish somebody explained to me what to do because no painkillers or buscopan is helping her.

My grannys cancer, was cured here. Since she was diabetic, she has passed on a lot of knowledge taking better care of myself

Its awesome, it cares, it puts patient first

I have been going to the hospital for about 2 weeks and im in serious pain and have been told to wait 1 month to have an ultrasound done i cannot walk due to abdominal pain and now cannot swollow properly is this the quality health care the hospitals have promised us

I want to know king Edward whether you terminate pregnancy?

It because doctors are nice and kind

Government hospital its fn bt lack of hospitality

Can I come there if I want to do a blood test for pregnancy?

Which area must you live in to go to this hospital?

Terrible service, not willing to help even though theyre sitting around doing nothingThe nurses have such a terrible attitude and even though they were quiet refused to help

Today I had the worse service ever since Ive used this hospital I have been here since the morning, people that work here are saying that they cannot find my MVA file how can a file go missing when all the other files are there they saying that they can only find my normal file...Im suppose be proceeding with my claim but I cannot because my file has suddenly gone missing and than after that I still have to wait to be passed around without getting any assistance....What an appalling service...

Feelling bored @king edward

Specialist medical personnel, people that really care and not just after making money

I had been transported by am ambulance from an accident seen i wasnt really happy with the way i was treated,

Verry good service

Does this hospital do mammograms?

You find so many specialists in this hospital

Best health in provincial Hospital

A ok hospital i say

They care more about rules than people. The third time as a pastor i have been refused entrance.

:)Just wanted to be on comments

Process of admission is not efficient, the admitting staff shows no interest in helping you, its like they were shoved into a job they didnt like and are forced to do it, Ive been here for 2hrs now and the only help I received was registering for a hospital file

King Edward Hospital Durban needs to post a list of their phone numbers on their website

Fast service

Good service

Great

Very poor hospital.

It is one of the best hospitals in Durban, I give 10 stars
