Three place names, one hospital
The address confuses people and navigation apps alike. The suburb is Symhurst, the area is Primrose, and the town is Germiston, which itself sits inside Ekurhuleni. All four names attach to this hospital in different listings.
Navigate by the street corner, Castor and St Joseph, rather than by the town name. And note the spelling: searches for “Rose Acres” as two words return unrelated results, because the hospital is Roseacres.
Casualty versus switchboard
- 011 842 7513 or 7514 reaches casualty directly. Use it when someone is being brought in, so staff know what is arriving.
- 011 842 7500 is the switchboard, for wards, admissions, accounts and enquiries about a patient already admitted.
- Neither is a substitute for an ambulance. If someone cannot safely be moved, call 10177 or 112 rather than driving them.
- A 128 bed hospital is a mid sized facility. Not every specialty is on site around the clock, so ask when you call whether the discipline you need is available.
Admissions and accounts
- Get pre authorisation from your medical aid before a planned admission, and take the authorisation number with you.
- The hospital account and the doctors’ accounts are separate. Surgeon, anaesthetist and radiologist each bill independently.
- Ask whether each practitioner is contracted in to your scheme before the procedure, not after.
- Emergency treatment may not be refused because you cannot pay.
