Department Of Health
Based on recent customer reviews, the Department of Health receives largely critical feedback from patients across multiple provincial clinics and hospitals. A recurring theme is rude and dismissive nursing staff, prolonged waiting times, and perceived negligence, with several reviewers describing distressing encounters involving vulnerable patients including the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and young children. Customers also raise concerns about ambulance delays, missing files, and suspected fraudulent schemes using departmental branding. Where positive sentiment appears, patients consistently mention individual nurses who showed kindness, efficient service, and clean facilities at specific clinics.

I got admitted yesterday at Thafeni clinic in tembisa, was in a severe pain I thought I would not make it! When I got there I got assistance from SR RHONA! The sweetest person indeed. She was with me throughout. For someone who has been to a private hospital and ER I must say SHE is the best.

Today I was disappointed by the Clinic in Bergville at Amazizi Clinic, my cousin had a severe asthma attack today and we got there and the nurses cars were parked but the security guards were told to send us away to the next Clinic of which it's about 15km away and about 30 minutes drive in Oliviershoek and we were riding on prayer that we will get there in time. This is a crying shame since this is a public institution supposed to serve us as tax payers and citizens of this country.

My brother didn't get his treatment at Nqamakwe Healthcare Center person in Dispensary did not report on duty this day 06/04. What kind of Gvt department is this where workers keep the keys. What about sick people today they won't get their medication?

There's a nurse named Shanelle Naicker who currently works at the Gateway Clinic based in Croftdene. For a nurse who has a taken oath to assist the sick and helpless, her behaviour is absolutely disgusting and inhumane. My aunty, who is physically disabled and is wheelchair bound paid a visit to the clinic for assistance. She was bombarded with questions about why she had arrived late. Transport should not be a question especially if she is physically disabled. Then was faced with outrageous remarks made by this nurse Shannelle. The exact words made by her was "nobody will treat you here". My aunty came back home crying. The treatment of healthcare workers towards the public is indescribable and for a woman to treat another woman like that, sad to say but she's a disgrace to the health care department. Is that what you learn when you complete your nursing school? To treat people in wheelchairs differently? To be rude to people who need your help? It's people like her who give the health care department a bad name.
