    So I wasn't there long just needed to get a booking date to come back for a check up since I'm 36 weeks currently pregnant, but my experience wasn't bad at all, security at the gate very helpful on where to go and where to park, the two ladies in the front desk of the ANC ward first seemed rude but then was helpful. Same security gentleman that helped us in saw me walking looking for my husband and showed me the way. Really friendly service and smiling faces on my 1st visit

    My father was recently admitted to one of the wards. Whilst the situation is pretty dire i cannot understand the heartlessness attitude of the security guards. Whilst i understand covid restrictions, to limit visiting hours to one visitor for 15 mins per day seems so unreasonable. My brothers have travelled from overseas to see our father and we have to travel 40 minutes each way. I have no problem with one visitor on the ward at a time, but 1 per day with the travelling involded is not fair and needs urgent review!!!!

    If I could give no stars I would . My boyfriend is currently at leratong hospital and he is getting treatment for stuff that he isn't suffering from and if he says anything they give him attitude or literally just ignore him and no give him treatment at all. He just sent me a voicenote of how a old man is getting hit by the nurses because he is old . Where is the humanity, why is there no one to check up on whether the nurses are doing there jobs right . Absolutely pathetic . Why are these nurses even getting hired . I say type this with tears in my eyes ... Leratong hospital is one horrible hospital

    What a horror film. The staff don't have a worry in the world. You look for your own file first of all, they only speak Tswana or sePedi and you dare respond in English or your own language which is Xhosa in my case. The nurses carry on with their own personal lives while patients are waiting

    A hospital lacking in facilities, resources, compassion of staff members and mostly lacking in provision of basic care to very ill patients who require care. I am shocked at the standard of South African hospitals. My father was admitted to Leratong with a massive stroke. He subsequently acquired a secondary or hospital acquired infection in this hospital. He has sepsis and is very unwell. He has been in hospital for three weeks now and the hospital has not managed to identify the cause of the sepsis. They have done blood culture analysis which was unsuccessful because the nurses and ward staff failed to adequately hydrate my father which affects the accuracy of the blood culture analysis. My father is unable to eat and drink by himself and there is little to no help from the nurses and ward staff for patients. If you dare to call the doctor for an update, the response are rude nurses who spend 10 minutes telling you off for a right you have to information about health of your parent rather than productively spend those same 10 minutes giving you an update. The staff members are frankly verbally abusive in their manners to the patients and the family of patients. Which country in this world claims to be a democracy whilst practicing this? Section 27(3) of your South African Constitution clearly does not impact the manner in you practically deliver care to patients. Furthermore, I have never come across more inhumane nurses and security staff. Patients who are seriously ill and have family who live abroad who have a limited amount of time to see family and are denied access. They have a โ€˜ruleโ€™ of two visitors per patient per day, which I have seen, being applied inconsistently. My daughter was denied access to see her grandfather whilst only in South Africa for a week. South African health, pull yourselves into an era of access to adequate healthcare for human beings and some compassion and flexibility when circumstances require. I am truly shocked at state hospital facilities in South Africa. Human beings fail to get healthcare unless a price is paid for a private hospital.

    I am so impressed and so grateful. The wonderful staff, incredible doctors and nurses, have all restored my faith in our country's medical services. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because a shortage of funding hasn't allowed for ongoing maintenance of the buildings. That being said, everything is spotlessly clean and fantastically run. Thank you to everyone at Leratong Hospital for the passion and dedication to your calling as a medical fraternity.

    There is a lake of hospitality in this hospital. Most dominated by nurses who not passionate about their work. The treatment towards patients is some how off. They don't care how patients feel. Meals before medication time is not kept i.e give you meal at 8:00pm then gives you medication at after 10:00pm. When you call on them to ask for help, they dont respond yet sitting n playing with their phones chatting at nurse station. You can hear them laughing out loud n playing music on their pbones.

    Horror show! Even if you are scheduled for admission weeks in advance, they will admit you and then expect you to spend the night in a chair, crowded with others. Women are giving birth in the wards . This hospital takes on patients to die

    I would rather die from my injuries that go here. Staff is rude and they won't assist you even when you ask for a simple wheel chair to move someone who can't walk.

    My husband was admitted to Leratong Hospital on the 15th April 2022. Since he was admitted in ward 14 there is a bravo male (Old man) that was admitted and me and my husband observed that the sisters of the ward only change the old man's nappy, since my husband was in that same room we can't recall once that one of the sisters working in that ward give the old man something to drink or to eat. He can't eat or drink by himself. The people bringing the food just put the food next to his bed and the sister's don't care about the patients in their ward. When the family arrives the old man is so thirsty when they give him something to drink. I don't even think this old man is going to come out of Leratong hospital alive. I am disgusted with the way that the patients get treated at this hospital.

    My wife and I visited the hospital on Saturday and was told that everything is fine meanwhile my wife was bleeding everyday until we went again on Wednesday and was admitted and got miscarriage, the doctors are all under learnerships and the seniors only work during the day and not at night; after two weeks my wife experienced bleeding again only to find out we where expecting twins which the students or doctors didn't see. Now we doing counseling for the both of us just to be strong .

    My mother was there for an operation. She was admitted in ward 17. Mr Mabungu and all his coworkers were wonderful, understanding and empathetic. Thank you also to Dr Ndjo, the surgeon looking after my mother. Keep up your good work.

  • 5/5 Anzac M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ward 14 - Excellent Care! On par with any Private Hospital!! Thank you, to the Doctors & Nurses of Ward 14!!! The service is excellent, top class and my husband, Anzac, who sadly passed away, was given the best care around the clock. I couldn't have wished for better care under the circumstances. The only difference between a Private Hospital and Ward 14's care was the visiting hours! Other than that, truely a TOP CLASS Team! Special thanks to Dr Mohlopi & Sister Jaqueline (who went above & beyond her call of duty) - Blessings, love & light to you! PS: You deserve more than 6 stars.

    LERATONG HOSPITAL IS A DISGRACE TO HUMAN DIGNITY. The chaos starts from the gynae waiting area where patients wait for over 8 hours for a doctor. Nobody cares about the patients who are in pain, no medical attention is given to patients. The nurses are worse. Our government and society can do better.

    The service was horrible , maintenance is not done , and the mortuary staff is lazy and unhelpful. Simon was especially rude and discriminating . We ended up waiting 3 hours with no updates or information. It was shockingly bad . Do not take your loved one to this disgusting place.

    My mom was admitted on the 5th of October in ward 14. She complained about hospitality and hygiene. Sheet were not change for 5 days and my mom suffers from asthma. I wish the attitude of the nurse would improve and remember that they are with people like them. Hope they would care more cause nursing is all about caring

    Went to visit my brother today. I was impressed by the security at the hospital. Wards are clean there is aircon for the patients. Friendly staff. Keep up the good work

  • 1/5 Ismail H. 7 months ago on Google
    Worst experience ever. From the nurses to the doctors to the security For us Indians, the staff treat us worse than animals. They have absolutely no respect and are so arrogant. Why do these people work in places where they have no empathy. But unfortunately this is our country where the minorities have no rights even though we pay taxes and contribute to this country. And this will probably fall upon deaf ears so thanks

    When I was admitted in the ICU the nurses were so kind, patient and loving. The ICU nurses are literally the sweetest nurses you'll ever come acrossโค hear me out, Dr Sekhutsoanyane deserves flowers ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’, a huge shout out to her๐Ÿฅบ

    I went to leratong hospital last night around 7:30pm after my son's temperature was pretty high and he was complaining about abdominal pains, on my arrival there were only 4 children that needed to be attended before, even went well with the tempature checks and BP then I was told to wait for the doctor ๐Ÿ˜ข yho I have never in my life experience such a bad and poor service from a doctor(student doctor), when I got in the room for consultation he was just so judgemental instead of just focusing on the child he kept on saying baseless things like the child looks OK, bare in mind that this is after waiting for him for 6 hours in a very uncomfortable bange from 8pm until 2:15 am

    I was at Leratong hospital for a successful catarac operation on 25 June 2023. The doctors, sisters, nurses, personnel and fellow patients were wonderful. I can see again with my left eye.

    Wow, things have improved at leratong hospital, you guys have great nurses and doctors, I do understand that they are under staffed and people are over populated especially the maternity ward but I saw the hard work, I am impressed. Ward6 is so clean and I feel that ward 12 should be treated the same, the toilets are horrible to be honest. But my experience was not so bad at the hospital. Keep it up and may god bless you all ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    Brought a minor to the hospital and was instructed to wait outside, it's been more than 4hrs and still no feedback from the nurses nor the doctor, this is really pathetic. Why should we use government facilities if the service is this bad. I'm appalled by the way I was treated. please fix such things...

  • 2/5 Naomi G. 2 years ago on Google
    They can't convey a message properly when a loved one passed away... When you must identify the deceased a funeral parlor must be with you when they collect the deceased.

    If it was possible I'd give it one star. They all sound so kind on the phone. Bit they made me wait for weeks before even helping me.to even consider the fact that I'm not from around. They asked me why I didn't go to hellen Joseph or Charlotte maxeke. Poor services. Person would die in those people's hands

    Our local hospital.... It's a hospital no one loves hospitals but we all get into one during difficult or trying times. It's a public hospital Expect everything a typical public hospital wld have..... The Gud n the bad.... My experience was ohk it wasn't a busy Dae. An intern Dr admitted me from casualty, she was a white lady we had a Gud chat....i had a DnC n it was a horrible experience the pain was unbearable coz they use local anaesthetic. The ob&gyn did his job Shame I remember him trying to keep me calm. I heard my cazin say private hospitals use generally aneasthetic for DnC. If u can, use private. But public will get things done Jus at a different service. Overwhelmed understaffed is the order of the Dae u will get nyc nurses plenty but dnt b surprised if u get a rude one. Oh and some wards dnt have hot water in d morning rather wait later to bath.
