The service at this hospital is very poor you wait for 3 hours for a doctor? Is there 1 doctor in whole hospital? Doctors are just walking past not offering any help people in wheelchairs Im so disappointedDepartment of health must do something or they must change stuff there to relaxed

My mom development like an epileptic attack faints n falls. Cracked her head and had 10 stitches. She has been in to the hospital twice and all they did was put her on a drip. The night doctor stated she needs to go for MRI. To the day doctor to whom my mom informed that they need to send her for MRI and your response was SO NOW YOU TELLING US HOW DO OUR JOB. She died in my arms on the 24/08/2021 at home. I want you to know she was loved by her husband, two sons, two daughter in laws a neighborhood and a huge extended family. I know nothing will come of this and I dont know which doctor this was but the universe is a powerful entity and you will be served by Karmic law. I am upset with my self that I could not afford medical aid sooner than to have sent her to a careless hospital such as mahatma Gandhi. I wish in my moms journey to final destination she meets our great mahatma Gandhi to guide her. With tears in my eyes I hope I did my best to get my moms blessings.

I had a very great experience when my daughter got burnt .. she was 2 years old ..she recovered very quickly it was like nothing happened.. the food was healthy .the nurses were very friendly . My sister also gave birth there 2 years ago she did not have any problems everything went well. Keep it up guys . For i am about to have my next experience of giving birth there .

Big up to Sister Ngcongo at Philakahle clinic shes so helpful and caring.You have good qualified nurses but this one, thank you

Im at this hospital nd we are not even allowed food from outside our families.not even to go the shop.ybis is extreme torture.not even sieng our families...this situation on its own is hard😭😔

Please note that a vaccine site at the hospital doesn’t exist, despite notifications from DOH to attend one’s scheduled vaccine appointment there. Was sent to a nearby site instead where the Covid protocols left much to be desired, so I left. Just letting people know in case you also receive false info from DOH.

I went to make my babys road to health book due to my bag getting stolen with it in inside. The nurse on duty tells me that I must wait she has to see to everyone else. I explained to her that I came on my break because I was not given off from work. She was so rude and refused to assist. I also explained that I might lose my job and asked if I can send my mother with all the required details. She refused. They have no sense of urgency and are very rude. They feel as if they own the hospital. I admit that it is a government hospital but we are paying our tax so technically their service is not free to us. The government workers must appreciate that they have jobs and learn to do it to the best of their ability. Not use their jobs to show authority, they must learn to be compassionate in what they do. From what I see they all in it for the money and not to serve people...no peoples skills what so ever!!!

A lot of improvement required to make this facility an efficient health care unit..staff need to be more helpful and friendly

Nurses and doctors are disturbingly uncaring. These people have so much blood on their hands its a shame they are allowed to continue to practice.

Went to Mahatma Gandhi Memorial hospital today, Went very early to beat the queue or cut off times for the optician, Today was the date given to me for an appointment, There was a Male nurse that handled everything and patients in the most professional manner, pleasant kind and compassionate, Ofcourse he works in the eyecare department, hereafter the optician settles in, Her name is Miss Ntokozo Dlamini she works professionally smart whilst the Male nurse Mr Goodman S.Kept on following up with all patients for eyecare and tested glasses, What an amazing team together they worked ongoing without breaks bringing this long queue down, I never hear patients complain ofcourse there was no reason too, After Mr Goodman did my vitals or checked my vitals he told me to be patient and wait my turn, I waited patiently and before I knew it i was sitting in the opticians chair, this lady knows her stuff also a kind and compassionate person who clearly is there for her patients, Hats off to the duo at the MGMH my experience will never be forgotten certain the rest of your patients today as well, Keep it up my friends you guys are truly professional and are a treasure. MGMH you certainly can do with more staff like Miss Dlamini & Mr Goodman, they are dedicated professionals ,individuals who really work hard and get the job done.

Absolutely pathetic service!My mum went in last week to get a covid test done.Her results came back positive which left her frantic!Today she was informed that her results had been mixed up with that of another patient and she is in fact negative 😕.Alot of apologies were being made to her but that does not justify their negligence.How many others could this have happened to?!We have false results being distributed which is unacceptable!

One of the most poorly managed government hospitals in the nation. Terrible attitude from the guards to the nurses and doctors on call. This hospital is a death trap

This facility cannot be reffed to as a hospital, more like a place where people go to suffer and die, I have never come across such heartless public servants in my life, I have on a voice note from another patient that a female friend of mine was being abused and manhandled, I will be reporting to this the correct channels.

It is sad that a hospital is named after such a great individual. This hospital stands for the opposite compared to what the great Mr Mahatma Gandhi stood for. My mum waited two entire days just to see a Dr and eventually when one did see her, her insulin levels had already spiked up to 24, she collapsed and nobody helped her. It was my brother who picked her up and carried her to a bed. She was put on a drip and was told that there are more severe cases that the Drs needed to attend to. Her conditioned then worsen into severe diarrhea, she was told to change her clothes in front of other patients who were males. No nurses assistedor attended to her while she was in this condition as the nurses continued with their conversations on their phones. My mom was accused of having of lover who visited and cared for her frequently when it was actually her son. The nurses made fun of my family instead of fulfilling their Hippocratic oath that they had conveniently forgotten. It is sad that a hospital can provide this kind of service to the pensioners of our country. This is just one of many stories, image how many other there is that has not yet been revealed. These Drs & nurses fail to realize that it is our tax that is actually paying their salaries and to at least show some humanity to our pensioners is some thing they fail to do. It is time to speak out, if you have had similar or worse experiences with this hospital, air your views and share your experiences with the rest of the world. My mums words, Death is far more better than to be treated at Gandhi Memorial Hospital

One start is generous , this hospital does not treat their patients well and fails to clean them up if they had an accident. The conditions of this hospital are horrible and I am shocked at the fact that this place is still allowed to take patients.Absolutely disgusted.

Thank you to the Doctors and Nurses @ MOPD for such great work and dedication we have witnessed over this past weekend, both day and night shift. It was truly amazing to see this kind of service at the Hospital.Much improvement in neatness was evident as well. Keep up the Good work and continue to serve our community with a kind heart. :)

Youll make every one die

My mom in law is in hospital. Im from Cape town. I tried to communicate with her since she has been admitted. I phoned, but all they tell me is that she is doing fine, but she cant come to the phone. Cant they take the phone to her? I so much want to speak to her! Sometimes th the receptionist just put the phone down in my ear!

I arrived with the Ambulance at 22:00, and I only got assisted the next morning. Very poor service the doctors don’t have time for patients. They spend time talking and laughing with the other staff. Really disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it!!!

Am sick fighting for my life but no one is here to assist, Ive been waiting for the past 5 hours now, and am pregnant, one of the doctors came to me and told me I should have went to the clinic, I told her the clinic is closed and she told me that then Ill keep on waiting because am black and theres nothing important about me, as am writing this right now am letting the whole world know, that if I die, its all because of this hospital negligence

They try but they just dont do enough 😒 Am glad I got a transfer. Thats all I have to say.

Doesnt even deserve one star!For goodness sake, my 4 year old nephew is bleeding from his mouth, theres blood everywhere and his body is turning blue in certain areas and he still hasnt been attended to since 2pm... His a baby, have they no heart? ...words cant even explain how angry I am right now.

A sad and disappointing attempt at public Healthcare. Like so many other government run institutions, this hospital is the epitomy of inefficiency and complete lack of empathy from so call public servants.One must understand that these hospitals serve almost 10 times the amount of patients that are privileged to have access to private care but this is no excuse for the blatant lack of service or care from staff.If you wouldnt treat your mother like that, why do it to another?

This doesnt even allow me to give ghandis no stars i had to wait in casualty from half 8 one morning spent over night with no beds ,i understood there was a lot of patients to see to but i carried on waiting the next day i had a hard time to do an ultrasound cause i couldnt keep the water in me .The night shift doctor and nurses told me do the ultra sound and come back to that emergency ward in casualty where i was.When i go there and try to explain to another doctor what my situation is she refuses to listen cause Ive been there from the previous morning up till the next morning .i didnt even eat or bath i was feeling miserable,the doctor also tells me take a seat and wait in the review line the line was so long i was not prepared to spend another day and night there.The service there sucks ! And when you try and explain they assume you bring rude.This hospital was the worst hospital ive been to and it was the first time.Far as i know even if you dying they make you wait. The only good thing is that the night shift security who was there was really friendly and safe.

Thank u Nurses of Ward 9 for taking care of my Mother who has a fractured hip n suffering from dementia. Your outstanding service and care was overwhelming. God Bless.

Only 1 doctor before lunch & only 1 after lunch..for such a HUGE CROWD..we get here at 6am and follow queues for 10hrs long.. until our backsides are sore. The cashier very quickly cashes out many R40.00 however..not even half the patiences are seen to..the majority has to come back the next day and follow the same routine..hoping to get seen to..this costs another day off (unpaid) + transport..THIS IS BAD..whoevers in charge here, feel what we go thru in these words.. this shortage of staff affects performances & flow all round..the nurses look absolutely angry, frustrated & fatigued out..the expression is as if they are forced to do their jobs..how do we rate this hospital for GRAND service..when there is none found???????

The incompetence and dont careattitude of the staff in casualty killed my mom on 30 October2019. They left her without her drip and without any care until she went into shock and then they jumped around but it was too late. Her heart could not handle the shock. They should not even get 1 star but unfortunately this is the lowest choice. People are treated worse than animals. They are shouted at and chased away at 5 oclock even though they have been waiting the whole day. The place is dirty and unhygienic. I am disgusted by this hospital.

Dear SharonHope this will finds you wellkindly note that i am not happy about the service that you provide to your patients . My fiance was transferred to your Hospital hoping that my Daughter will be assisted but unfortunately we didnt get help that we needed.My wife was sent to your Hospital on Tuesday for consultation, the Doctor tried to take out the mach stick that was stuck in the ear of my daughter than she started bleeding a lot the doctor ended up saying she must come back on Friday 21 June 2019 , after that the doctor prescribed the medicine that my daughter will use until the return date , when my wife went to the hospital pharmacy they said they dont have all the medicine that was on the prescription it was out of stock they only gave her panado. which is very bad that means your staff they dont communicate OK fine.Friday she came back again when she met doctor she said they is nothing in the ear that doctor was lying so now you just left us with many question what is happening there , you guys are doing incorrect information to the patients .if she said they is nothing in the ear where is it because i would have understand if on Tuesday they gave us something to take it out but no they gave us panado that help for pain .i will have to open case about this i really need more information about this we will meet in court .my email [email protected]

Something has to be done about this hospital, honestly. The night shift security was more compassionate than the doctors

This is a public hospital and you can have a good experience when you go here. But however for the majority of patients and visitors this does not happen. Recently they have blocked access to their parking, preventing visitors from parking in the hospital parking. This is under review and hopefully this rule is abolished as Im sure hospital management will see how frustrating this is for the public. For the most part staff dont really treat people well, and chronic patients who visit the hospital always have challenges and spend long hours at the hospital. Often patients medical history file is lost or staff cant find this. Hopefully this does improve as this hospital does have good potential.

My bro got knocked on Saturday night and ws brought in at 12. Till Sunday 10,53 doctor ask nurse to do certain things for him , her excuse she is busy and will get to him when she do, his situation right now is critical at least nurses need to be have and consider the family wat they go thru . There problem in this hospital there is no need to work when u get paid anyway totally crazy there is a lack of staff and doctors for such a big hospital

Its an absolute waste of timeI would never recommend the hospital to anyone not even an enemy,everything about it is horrible and I had to loose my child in the process and now when I request for a simple think such as a letter explaining wy the child died they take forever it has been almost a month now requesting for a simple report just a letter stating what happened. Its the worst Hospital ever people should not be treated there infact it should be closed.

I will never come here again made me wait for more than 8 hours and not be seen to and then when I need to leave they stop me and now these stupid sucurity acting like we I jail and cannot leave what the hack with them and these doctors or so called doctors are said they cant give us the paper to sign to leave cause we will be wasting they paper like they are buying the paper and now they still making me wait like jail. We are hungry and sitting here and cant go no where like we locked up or something whats their hack with these people. Just to show us a point the doctors are going around and seeing 1 person 3 or 4 times F#$K sake. Plus they they said we wasting they time and they all linking together and the calvin security is making us like mocks here how can you stay like this and I cant be the only on like this can anyone agree with me huh I am really upset at this and what is happing

They help my son who was in high care he had lung problem now is in grade R Im really thankful

Ward 1 good service friendly nurses

Absolutely pathetic service from the Antenatal department. I just needed assistance to know where to wait for a doctor but was sent around in circles to 5 nurses who were absolutely full of attitude as if it was against their principles to assist people. The only doctor there, female, sitting at reception was also just as rude and unhelpful. I had a nurse refer me to another who shouted at me in front of all the patients there asking me why was I interrupting her when she was teaching. This was on Tuesday the 25th of April @ 8:30am. Gandhi laid down his life for people, change the name of the hospital if the workers cant live up to his standards.

They were very attentive had to wait a while but one of the better hospitals to use.

Gandhi is a terrible hospital ever, the service is very bad and it staff have attitude. I that it close down soon, we tired seeing our family dying from Gandhi hospital... 😪😪😪😪

Its the Most horrible hospital ever. We rushed my mother there she was in severe pain to a point where she was running out of breath. They just let her lie in their filthy beds with an empty drip that was sucking her blood out, no attention from the doctors or the nurses. There are patients who have been in casualty for more than 3 days without any medication. Staff behaviour towards patients is appalling.Its a waste of resources.

Good health care but you have to wait ridiculously long to be attended to

Do you even have people working there to answer the phone in any department, trying to get through from last week. you dont deserve any stars but had to just to post

Good hospital as i was doing my practicals it was very caring for students🤗🤗😊

Sister Naicker in Ward 9 is the reason public hospitals have a bad name. The level of rudeness and lack of compassion was astounding!

The hospital make the patients wait outside the hospital in the rain, and only open after 5 am .

Worse hospital for service, treatment and life. Best for creating injuries, death and run a rounds

Very , very bad , waited two days to see doctor , not a place to be proud of

My father in law checked in the hospital during a strike at the hospital. He was dying, he needed to be in icu as a Specilist at the hospital said he had TB of the lungs. The doctor that attended to my father in law requested from his superior to transfer my father in law to another more equipt hospital with an ICU since Ghandi Hospital did not have an ICU, Imagine , No ICU and you serve a community of millions of people. Lets just say the Doctor made a Wrong call. I heard that a bigger mortuary was being built in the hospital, Why ,re they planning to put more in the Morgue ? Sometimes you be gifted with a good memory and you become a Doctor, but you do not have a compassionate heart. Other times you have a compassionate heart but you dont try hard to be a doctor. If only we chose would be doctors properly who have this balance of intelect and compassion.

My mum was admitted in... Good stay

Horrible hospital conditions, horrible staff, bitter doctors, illiterate and rude security, horrible administration. Everything about the hospital causes trauma.

The hospital is in the condition it is because of the ANC government

The Nursea are very rude, the service is also bad

Its Not Really A Great Hospital Service Needs Work

Worst hospital ever just a waste of tax payers money

Poor service

Long to go if you ask me

Shortage of resources both human n equipment

Great place ever

Average

Care

They do what they can to help
