Dr Zelda Henning is a general surgeon practising at Life Midmed Hospital in Middelburg. The rooms details below come from the Life Healthcare practitioner listing, which is the hospital group own record of the doctors admitted to practise at its facilities rather than a third-party medical directory.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 013 243 0100
- Physical address: Doctors Building 1, Life Midmed Hospital, corner of Joubert and Crocker Street, Middelburg, 1050
- Practising hospital: Life Midmed Hospital
A second number appears on the same page and it is not the rooms. The 011 219 9000 line belongs to Life Healthcare corporate and sits in the site chrome on every practitioner page in the group. It will not reach this practice. The 013 number is the local one, and the dialling code matches Middelburg, which is the quickest way to tell the two apart.
No email address and no consulting hours are published on the listing, so the telephone is the only route given.
One difference between hospital groups is worth knowing if you are checking a practitioner. The equivalent Mediclinic listings publish an HPCSA registration number and a practice number alongside the contact details; the Life Healthcare record does not. Ask for the practice number when you book, because your medical scheme needs it before it can pay, and ask for the HPCSA number if you want to verify registration independently with the Health Professions Council.
What this organisation provides
The listing records the speciality as general surgery, practising at Life Midmed Hospital. General surgery is a broad field, typically covering abdominal procedures, hernia repair, gallbladder and appendix surgery, breast surgery and emergency operative work.
The listing gives the speciality rather than a procedure list, so confirm when booking that the specific operation you have been referred for falls within the practice. Surgeons within a speciality often sub-specialise further, and the hospital directory does not record that level of detail.
Address and operating information
The rooms are in Doctors Building 1 on the Life Midmed Hospital campus, at the corner of Joubert and Crocker Street, Middelburg, 1050. No consulting hours are published, so establish them when you book rather than arriving unannounced.
A doctors building on a hospital campus is not the hospital, and treating them as one thing causes most of the confusion patients run into. Admissions, the ward and anything to do with the hospital account are Life Midmed matters. Consultations, results, follow-ups and the surgeon own account run through the rooms on the number above.
Support and escalation routes
Use the rooms for appointments, results and account queries. Expect to be asked for a referral, since surgical practices commonly work on referral from a general practitioner or another specialist.
Sort the authorisation out before the date. Medical schemes ordinarily require pre-authorisation for surgery, and that authorisation comes from your scheme rather than from the rooms, although the rooms can usually tell you which procedure codes the scheme will ask for. An operation that goes ahead without it can leave you carrying the account yourself.
Expect more than one invoice for a single procedure as well. The hospital bills for theatre, the bed and consumables, and each treating practitioner bills separately for professional fees, so a surgeon account and an anaesthetist account arrive alongside the hospital one. Check which account a statement comes from before querying it.
Complaints divide the same way. Clinical conduct and professional standards go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa. Anything about the hospital, its facilities or its nursing goes through the Life Healthcare patient feedback route. A dispute about what a medical scheme paid is a scheme matter first, and then one for the Council for Medical Schemes.
