Older lists that give 010 214 0317 as the switchboard have been replaced by the July 2025 list. For departments not listed above, such as oncology, neurology or the breast clinic, call the switchboard and ask to be put through.
Journalists should contact the hospital’s media relations office on 011 488 3737. This line is for media enquiries only, not for patients.
