The facility searched for as Isipingo Medical Towers Hospital is officially Isipingo Hospital, a private hospital housed in the Medical Towers building on Phila Ndwandwe Road. Medical Towers is the building name, not the hospital name, which is why the two get combined in searches.

Individual specialists at Isipingo Hospital run their own consulting rooms with their own numbers, which the group lists by name on its website. Those are private practice contacts rather than hospital numbers, so they are not reproduced here. Ask the switchboard to put you through, or use the group website to find a named specialist.
Parent organisation
- Isipingo Hospital is part of Joint Medical Holdings, a KwaZulu-Natal private hospital group
- The group also runs Ascot Park Hospital, City Hospital, Durdoc Hospital, Ribumed Day Hospital in Glenwood, Ribumed Medical Care in Ballito, and the Richards Bay Medical Institute
- The group publishes a designated service provider page setting out which medical schemes have network arrangements with its hospitals, which is worth checking before admission
Admission and complaints
- Confirm before admission whether your scheme treats this hospital as a designated service provider. If it does not, you may carry a co-payment even when the procedure is authorised
- Have the practice number, your scheme membership number and the authorisation number ready at admission
- Raise a complaint with the hospital manager first, then the group on 031 314 3000 or the info mailbox. A clinical concern about a practitioner can also be taken to the Health Professions Council of South Africa
