Dagga Hospital Mamelodi Contact Details

The hospital known across Mamelodi as Dagga Hospital, also written Daga Hospital, is officially Mamelodi Regional Hospital, a Gauteng Department of Health facility in Mamelodi, Pretoria. Searching the nickname rarely finds the official record, which is filed under the formal name. The numbers below come from the province’s own published contact sheet for the hospital.

Official contact channels

Switchboard, all departments and wards: 060 538 4164
Patient care, all wards: 060 538 4459
For a medical emergency, call the national emergency number 10177 for an ambulance, or 112 from a mobile phone. Do not wait on a hospital switchboard in an emergency.

Two things about these numbers are worth understanding. First, they are mobile-format 060 numbers rather than the 012 landlines you would expect from a Pretoria hospital, and the province publishes them under the heading Alternative Contact Numbers. That is what a health department issues when the site’s landline exchange is unreliable or out of service, so treat the 060 lines as the current working route.

Second, the same provincial document lists direct mobile numbers for the CEO, two clinical managers, the nursing manager and the deputy directors for human resources, finance and administration. Those are individual staff members’ personal mobile numbers and are not reproduced here. Calling a hospital manager’s private phone is not the route to a ward, an appointment or a records request, and the switchboard reaches every department in any case.

Services and responsibilities

A regional hospital serving Mamelodi and the surrounding parts of eastern Tshwane, taking referrals from local clinics and community health centres.
Inpatient wards, outpatient departments and a casualty unit, with dental and oral outpatient services among the specialist clinics on site.
As a public regional hospital it sits at the second level of the referral chain: clinics and community health centres refer here, and this hospital refers complex cases upward to a tertiary hospital.
Fees at a public hospital are means-tested under the Uniform Patient Fee Schedule. You are not turned away for inability to pay, and emergency treatment may not be refused.

Going straight to a regional hospital for a problem a clinic can treat usually means a long wait and a referral back down. Start at your local clinic unless the case is an emergency or you already hold a referral letter.

Office and address information

The hospital is in Mamelodi, in the east of Pretoria, within the City of Tshwane.
No street address is given on the provincial contact sheet, and the Gauteng Provincial Government institution pages that previously carried the hospital’s address now return a page-not-found error, so no address is stated here rather than repeating an unverified one from a directory. Confirm the street address on the switchboard number above before travelling.
Casualty at a public hospital operates 24 hours. Outpatient clinics and administrative offices run weekday business hours, and visiting hours are set per ward.

Applications and escalation

Complaints go first to the hospital’s own complaints or patient affairs desk, reachable through the switchboard, which must record the complaint and give you a reference.
Unresolved complaints escalate to the Gauteng Department of Health, and then to the Office of Health Standards Compliance, whose Health Ombud investigates serious complaints about the standard of care in public facilities.
Complaints about the conduct of a doctor, nurse or other registered practitioner go to the relevant statutory council, the Health Professions Council of South Africa for doctors and the South African Nursing Council for nurses.
Requests for a patient’s own medical records are made in writing to the hospital records department, and can be pursued under the Promotion of Access to Information Act if refused.
Concerns about how personal health information has been handled fall under POPIA, with the Information Regulator on 010 023 5200.
