Getting seen at George Mukhari Hospital: the referral first
This is the single most useful thing to know about an academic hospital. It sits at the top of a referral chain, not at the entrance to it. Most of its specialist services are reached by referral from a clinic or a district hospital, not by walking in and asking for an appointment.
- Start at your local clinic or district hospital unless it is an emergency. They refer upward when the case needs it.
- Keep the referral letter. It is what gets you registered in the right department, and arriving without one is the usual reason people are sent back.
- Emergencies are different. A genuine emergency is treated wherever you present, and emergency treatment may not be refused because you cannot pay.
- It is a teaching hospital, so students and registrars are part of your care. You may be seen by several people, and you may decline student involvement.
Where George Mukhari Hospital is: Ga-Rankuwa, not Johannesburg
Listings place this hospital in Pretoria, in Johannesburg, and in Ga-Rankuwa, and all three names circulate. Ga-Rankuwa is north west of Pretoria, inside the City of Tshwane. It is a considerable drive from Johannesburg, which matters if someone is directing an ambulance or a lift.
