There is a Matlala Hospital and a separate Matlala Clinic, and only the clinic has a number published on an official source: 013 264 9501. The Limpopo Department of Health lists clinics by district but not hospitals, so for the hospital the verified route is the department on 015 293 6000, or the provincial health complaints line on 0800 919 191. Matlala Hospital is a district hospital near Marble Hall, in the Sekhukhune district.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not the hospital, the clinic or the Limpopo Department of Health.
If this is an emergency
Call 10177 for an ambulance, or 112 from any mobile phone. The hospital operates around the clock; the clinic does not. Neither can dispatch a vehicle.

The clinic and the hospital are different places
Sharing a name makes this the local version of a very common mistake, and the two are not interchangeable.
- Matlala Clinic is primary care on weekday hours: routine consultations, chronic medicine, immunisation, family planning, antenatal care, HIV and TB services. It is also where a referral letter comes from. This is the number the province publishes.
- Matlala Hospital is a district hospital taking those referrals plus emergencies, with inpatient care, surgery and onward referral to specialists.
For anything routine, the clinic is both the correct destination and the one you can actually phone. Going to the hospital for something a clinic handles usually means being redirected, and you will have travelled further to be told so.
Which Matlala
The name appears in more than one part of Limpopo, and that trips up directions and referrals.
- This hospital is near Marble Hall, in the Ephraim Mogale local municipality, Sekhukhune district.
- Ga-Matlala is a separate area elsewhere in the province. A search for “Matlala” alone returns both.
- Give Marble Hall and Sekhukhune when asking for directions, arranging transport, or confirming a referral.
Practical notes
Bring your identity document, clinic card, referral letter, current medicines in their packaging, and proof of income where you have it. Fees follow the Uniform Patient Fee Schedule and are means-tested, with pregnant women and children under six treated free of charge.
Ask about patient transport if you are being referred onward. The provincial service covers planned appointments as well as emergencies, and in Sekhukhune the distances make that worth asking rather than assuming.
Complaints
- Raise it at the facility and get a written reference number.
- Use the provincial complaints line on 0800 919 191, which is toll free, quoting that reference.
- Then the Health Ombud on 080 911 6472, which investigates the standard of care at any health establishment.
- Conduct by a named doctor or nurse goes to the HPCSA or the South African Nursing Council.
