Dear Medical Staff
I convey my sincere gratitude for the hospitality and excellent patient care administered to my daughter Karen Naidoo on the 5th of January 2020, Karen encountered an accident, suffered minor injuries and came through via ambulance.
The moment I stepped into the hospital, l coincidently met with an Indian matron at the hospital, she enquired if I required assistance, she escorted me to casualty and the medical staff was so efficient in taking care of Karen, my heartfelt appreciation to the Matron her smile was so pleasant and Dr Hadebe also, and medical team for patients excellence, made me so reassured, please convey this mess to them.
