Dr Duze Cardiologist Contact Details

Dr Ntando Peaceman Duze is a cardiologist practising in Westville, Durban, with rooms inside Life Westville Hospital. The details below come from Life Healthcare’s own doctor directory.

Official contact channels

Rooms: 031 251 6988, published by Life Healthcare as +27 31 251 6988.
Life Healthcare hotline: 011 219 9000 – a national group line for hospital and patient services, not a route to the rooms.
No email address is published. Life Healthcare’s doctor entries carry a telephone number and address only, so appointments and results go through the rooms telephone.

Because no mailbox is published, treat any email address for this practice that appears on a directory site rather than on Life Healthcare’s own pages as unverified.

What this organisation provides

Cardiology – the diagnosis and medical management of heart and circulatory disease in adults.
Typical scope includes chest pain and suspected angina, heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms, high blood pressure that is difficult to control, valve disease and heart murmurs, and cardiac risk assessment before major surgery.
Common investigations are the ECG, echocardiogram, stress testing and Holter monitoring. Angiography and stenting are done in a hospital catheterisation laboratory rather than in the rooms.
A cardiologist is a physician, not a surgeon. Bypass and valve operations are done by a cardiothoracic surgeon, to whom the cardiologist refers.
Admissions are to Life Westville Hospital.

Chest pain that is severe, crushing, spreading to the arm or jaw, or accompanied by sweating or breathlessness is an emergency. Call an ambulance on 10177, or 112 from a mobile phone, rather than waiting for a rooms appointment.

Address and operating information

Suite 303, Life Westville Hospital, Westville, Durban, 3630
The rooms are inside the hospital building rather than in a separate medical centre.
Practising hospital: Life Westville Hospital.
Consulting hours are not published. Specialist rooms run by appointment during weekday business hours.
Life Healthcare does not publish HPCSA registration numbers in its directory. To confirm a practitioner is registered and in good standing, contact the Health Professions Council on 012 389 9300.

Support and escalation routes

Bring your referral letter, a current medicine list and any previous ECG, echocardiogram or angiogram reports. Cardiology decisions depend heavily on comparison with earlier tracings, so old reports genuinely change management.
Cardiac conditions are well represented among the Prescribed Minimum Benefits. Cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, dysrhythmias, coronary artery disease and hypertension are on the chronic disease list, which a scheme must fund even when day-to-day benefits are exhausted, subject to protocols and designated providers.
Angiography, stenting and device implantation need pre-authorisation. Arrange it before the admission date; an unauthorised procedure can leave you liable for the account.
Scheme disputes and PMB refusals go to the Council for Medical Schemes once the scheme’s own appeal is exhausted.
Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300.
Complaints about the hospital – nursing, admission, the hospital account – go to Life Westville Hospital and then to Life Healthcare on the group hotline. Specialists in private hospitals are independent practitioners who bill separately, so a specialist account query cannot be settled by the hospital.
