What Happens When You Arrive at the Emergency Department?
When you arrive at our 24 Hour Emergency Pietermaritzburg unit, your condition will be assessed by the medical team.
Patients are assessed according to the seriousness and urgency of their medical condition. Patients requiring immediate or life-saving treatment may therefore be attended to before patients with less urgent conditions.
Depending on your condition, you may require further assessment, treatment, diagnostic investigations, observation or admission to the hospital.
Our healthcare professionals work together to provide the appropriate level of care based on the individual needs of every patient.
Supporting Your Emergency Medical Care
Some medical emergencies require more than immediate treatment. Depending on your condition, further investigations, specialised treatment or hospital admission may be necessary.
Eden Gardens Private Hospital provides access to a range of healthcare services that can support the assessment and treatment of patients, including:
- Radiology Services
- Pathology Services
- Pharmacy Services
- Medical and Surgical Care
- Intensive Care and High Care Services
- Specialised Medical Services
- Multidisciplinary Healthcare Support
These services assist healthcare professionals in assessing, diagnosing and treating patients who require emergency and ongoing medical care.
