About
The hospital is located in the small seaside town of Port Alfred on the Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape. Port Alfred is rich in history and a popular holiday destination. The town is situated at the banks of the Kowie River and managed to keep most its fishing village character and feel.
Port Alfred is well-known as the “heart of the sunshine coast” and lies halfway between Port Elizabeth and East London on Route 72. Nearby towns are Grahamstown, 57km to the North and Cannon Rocks, 30km to the West. The town of Port Alfred is renowned for its man-made harbour – the first in South Africa.
This laid-back town with only one traffic robot has undergone some development in the last couple of years without losing its quaint fishing village charm.
The hospital is situated in Central Port Alfred and easily accessible via the R72 to the North of the hospital. Central Port Alfred is nestled between the suburbs of West Bank and East Bank. The hospital has a 24-hour emergency unit that supports the community and surrounding areas around the clock.

Good evening
My father (68yrs old) has had a fall off his motorcycle and has a swollen ankle from the fall.
Please could you assist me with the prices of the following:
1. Price for casualty visit for an assessment of his ankle
2. An xray for his ankle and hiring of a moon boot if needed.
I live far away and the family is worried and need to budget to assist him asap.
I tried to phone the hospital today without any success the phone is just ringing and ringing and ringing. I am not sure if you are still in business but nobody answers the phone
