The doctors are very useless. A mild stroke patient, no scan done or referrals to any other hospital that does the CT or Mri scan, 2 and a half days wasted on just doing vitals and colleting meds, did not admit him. What was doctors thought in there 6 years of studies.

The service delivery is so pathetic. There is no proper communication with the patients nor are the nurses helpful. They expect us to just find our way. I write this review as I sit and wait in the hospital for my grandmother who has been waiting to be checked since 4. An hour ago there were 9 patients in front of her and now there are still 9 patients. So I guess this hospital wants us to spend 10 hours sitting in one place. Absolutely pathetic and then the staff and guards have time to congregate and laugh around when there are patients that's are in distress. Just because it's a public hospital doesn't mean it has to be so ****ty. And then people want to know why this country has so many problems. Well if our health care facilities are pathetic then what do they expect. I've been here for 3 hours now. What's the point of calling it an emergency ward if the patients aren't being taken care off in time.

I travelled from pmburg to this hospital to a family member that was at the emergency room.. Yes he was dying . We were grateful to have a few ****** moments with him because we snuck in here and there to assist him with a pee pot then ofcourse we had to help with xrays because of *********** staff. The cherry on top is the security who decided to enforce where we sit awaiting the the doctors decision whether the patient should be transfered to another hospital for an emergency operation. The mighty security lady who was absent during the whole time that the patient needed assistance suddenly appeared when the work was done and ordered that we move from where we were seated to 2 metres away because god knows why.. Nevermind that the doctor asked us to wait there because we awaiting a decision. Anyway we waited a few chairs away while the security guard disappeared again maybe she had some other serious patients family seating arrangement to combat. Then our family member passes on. We then notified and enter the hospital again then the security at the main door 'I Cant let you people go in I wont allow you people to make niyaga niyaga inside ' the mighty security again. Are these security people trained ?? How in gods name do they get these contracts who ever employs these security? Anyway nothing was stopping us we went in and abided by the rules my family sat at the waiting area I went in and found my family member laying on the bed dead. No we not fighting with anyone because he died. We not fighting with anyone may his soul rest in peace. I am not complaining about any services from the health dept it is what it is its the best we can get that our taxes can buy hospitals don't give life nor can they take life they can only try and save life and I am sure they do it to the best of their human ability. Our Islamic belief system requires us to conduct the burial as soon as possible . With all wrapped up at the main hospital the next ordeal starts at the hospital mortuary. At the mortuary there was one female guard and one dude who is like the King of the dead. That's all he will ever be in my eyes. Every effort to release the body to the Muslim burial society seemed to be a dead end with him. He gave problem upon problems without solutions. Eventually I told him to keep the body. Funny how reverse psychology somewhat worked. My story is going on too long now but my problem is who puts all these rules in place? I wish that those same people would use the same voom and zest to replace the ceiling and bucket collecting water at the xray dept. Also get those fancy scanners at gate to work, ask your staff to get off their phones and assist patients in distress. Yes I have enough video evidence and audio evidence to back up my story. My intentions are not to use any of this to degrade anyone I would just like the people mentioned in this to think about your attitude toward the distressed

My dad was taken to hospital by ambulance and being a elderly, stroke patient in a wheelchair, received poor treatment. After the other patients insisting on him getting first preference, doctors ignored this and said that he needs to wait in queue. He was in great distress and doctors did not give a damn. Very disappointing.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I no longer have medical aid and have had to seek medical care from this hospital as it is the closest to me. Recently I have had a spate of illness that has seen me in the trauma unit 3 times (once for an issue and 2 for follow up) where my drawn blood was lost and the tests has to be redone; on the follow up visit, I was asked by a doctor in the main hall my reasons for being there then told that they were unable to access my blood results due to interference in the online system. I was then referred to the MOPD department for outpatients to follow up on the blood results that were now 3 weeks pending. Today (12/07/2024) I have been waiting at the hospital since 4.30am for them to open at 7am as the queues are extremely long. When the clerk in this department came around to collect the patient cards with no announcement of such (I have never been here before today), he walks straight past you and take every single card but for the people who are on their phones or sleeping in their chairs. There is no communication between the patients and the administration of the department except this. When asked, he justifies his behavior by saying that it's not his problem and that he cannot wait for people to take their cards out of their bags. This is not the first example of the power trip that some people in public service enjoy but it is unbelievable that patients who have no other option but to seek medical help from the state are treated so badly.

I arrived at King George Emergency on Wednesday the 23 August 2023 as I was newly diagnosed as a diabetic and my sugar was very high. Their staff in emergency was nice and did everything to assist me and to bring my sugar down. I got admitted into the ward. On the 24th to be monitored and thaught how to use insulin and speak to a dietishan. Today is the 26th and in still here. I'm not feeling well, my sugar has rocketed up again. The doctors keep changing insulin some of the nurses don't care. 2 young women have died in my presence because of neglection from nurses and day shift doctors. Dayshift doctors rush off,without completing thier job and leaving thier work for the night shift staff. As dibetics we need to eat when we hungry, last night a Gogo almost died as her sugar was at 1.0 because the night shift staff denied her food. To make matters worse the night shift group for the 25th of August, Is asking us what is wrong with her!😐 Like what the hell, read her file! The other patients had to tell them to check her sugar! But this night shift staff sat whole night on their phones and video calling instead of seen to us patiences I've been on different insulins and my sugar is not coming down at all. My kidneys are sore other problems are coming up which I didn't have,I feel dizzy all the time. There is no care what's so Eva here. The dietishan hasn't even seen me as yet and I got told she don't work on weekends. She's the only 1 for the whole hospital. What kind of service is this? We suppose to be getting better in the wards instead we coming to wards to die because of neglection. Are these people called nurses and doctors are even what they say they are? Are they only good for the title and salary.
