Netcare Kokstad Private Hospital Overview
Kokstad Private Hospital is a 40 bed Netcare affiliated hospital in Southern KZN. It is attached to the Kokstad Medical Centre, a multidisciplinary rural general practice with seven general practitioners.
The hospital is a secondary level facility with a 24Hr Casualty, Maternity unit, Pediatric unit, general medical and general surgical unit as well has high care facilities and 2 theaters.
The hospital is predominantly utilized by general practitioners who place great importance on the need for comprehensive integrated healthcare, involving consultations, admissions, investigations and procedures.
KPH was started in 2005 by a group of motivated general practitioners that had been practicing in Kokstad for many years. They were driven to provide Kokstad with a world class private facility that would serve both the local community and the large drainage area of surrounding towns that feed into Kokstad as a service centre. It was specifically designed to service all members of our rainbow nation.
Starting with just 12 beds, Kokstad Private Hospital has grown to 40 beds and it is our hope to continue this path of development. It is our vision to continually improve our service offering to the communities of the Greater Kokstad Region, for example our latest development is the installation of a CT scan with state-of-the-art tele-radiology
Patients that are scheduled for theatre should not eat from midnight on the night before the operation, unless if it is otherwise indicated by your treating doctor.
If you are scheduled as a day case, it is important to arrange transport home for the afternoon.
In some cases it might be safer not to drive yourself home after the procedure due to drowsiness and impaired coordination. Please try to make other arrangements for transport if possible. Feel free to discuss this with your doctor or anaesthetist.
Your medical aid will not pay for you to be admitted the day before your operation and will not pay for an overnight stay if you are booked for day case surgery.
