About

The hospital is situated in a town called Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal.  Richards Bay lies about 170km North of Durban and boasts the largest harbour and the most beautiful wetland scenery and unspoilt beaches in the country.

This vibrant town is quickly becoming a prime tourist destination and a busy economic centre in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.  Richards Bay started as a fishing village and makeshift harbour and has grown into a booming seaport town and tourist attraction.

Richards Bay has excellent leisure facilities and visitors can enjoy fishing, bird watching, surfing, canoeing and art galleries, just to mention a few.

The hospital is situated in the CBD of Richards Bay and is easily accessible via the R619 to the East and the R34 to the South of the hospital.  A 24-hour emergency unit serves the community and surrounding areas around the clock.
