Vertebral compression fracture treatment in Africa

We’ve got bad service. You can’t even sit on a chair or on the floor next to a sick 92 year old lady. Only one person next to her bed. Took 4hours plus for admission. The staff told you to sit in the rest rooms if you want to sit. We are lucky they couldn’t help her at Meulmed and the ambulance took her to Heart Hospital with 5star service.

I will never set my foot in this hospital ever again, went to the hospital last week on the 8th February, I had chest pains and difficulty with breathing. Was attended by a nurse in the emergency area while waiting for the Doctor who took his time and he had very impatient and inconsiderate. Then he asked one of the nurses called Sophie to do heart test on me, the nurse came and just pulled my underwear without informing me what was that for and she was very rude. Then I was discharged at about 2am still with severe chest pains. All in all I will never recommend anyone to come to this hospital.

This is the best hospital in Pretoria,the nurses are very friendly and loving. However there is a group that works night shift this week they delay to bath patients and give them medication very late. That is not fair they are sick they need the best possible care at all times especially at night.as im typing there's a sick lady who was promised to be taken to the shower the sister came with her oxygen put it at the door and left without saying anything this people they are heartless

Waiting for over an hour and a half at the emergency room for a doctor to see my baby who has been projectile vomiting for the past 3 hours !!!! No one cares. Only one doctor on duty for the night. Tell us they didn’t know we were even waiting to see someone. Here’s the best part THEY MADE US ADMINISTER THE MEDICATION OURSELVES IN THE ER!!!! There were 2 white pills in the pill splitter. The one we saw them remove from the pack, the other was just sitting there. The doctor didn’t even know what the second pill was but wanted us to give it to my baby ???? The HOSPITAL HAD NO REHYDRATE for him!!! They had to give him tap water to check his fluids. Don’t waste your money on this pathetic excuse for a private hospital! Shocking! Standing here with a screaming baby and zero consideration from the staff. Disgusting!

Spent the night in hospital here after having surgery and it was the worst experience. Service was terrible, it takes on average 30 minutes for someone to attend to you when you call them, i had to ask for a glass of water 3 times for, yes you guessed it, 30 minutes before i got anything. It took an hour an a half for them to consult my doctor on an issue i was having where I couldn't breath when sleeping. Service aside i fell asleep and was woken up at midnight from LOUD hammering in the hospital, when i queried this (me getting up because I didn't have 30 minutes) i was told that it was maintenance. Yes, maintenance at midnight in a hospital, you read correctly, so loud enough it could wake the dead. Hammering and welding went on for an hour after which the aircon unit above my bed burst drenching my hospital bed with water. Service came in to observe what happened with a couple of "oh nos" and "oh mys" i was left sitting on a chair at 1am in the morning for, yes you guessed it, 30 minutes before someone came in and said they were moving me to another ward. Would give zero stars but the food was good so one star warranted.

After having had my baby admitted to the peads ward on two separate occasions, I can confidently say that Sandton Mediclinic has amazing facilities for littles. Their nursing staff in the pediatric ward are second to none, with each sister being super passionate and caring for each child in their care. The doctors on call are amazing and knowledgeable. The food provided for the kids (3 meals a day) are made and served with love, and quite tasty (I may have snuck a taste or two). I have delivered both of my children here too, and the maternity ward is really fantastic. The meals are amazing and they ensure new mommies are taken care of. The bathrooms in the maternity ward could do with an upgrade, but the rooms are awesome. With plenty of space and comfortable. Dr Allan-Gould is an amazing OBGYN. Dr Dance, Dr Van Der Nest and Dr Mathwin are all amazing pediatricians (Dr Dance is our usual pediatrician but the other two Dr’s have seen my child when he was admitted to the ward). Sr Nozi and Sr Mbali in the pediatric ward are AMAZING. Sr Jolene in the maternity ward is an excellent nurse.

The best experience I have had with a medical provider was at BASS. The entire staff are exceptionally friendly, pleasant, always ready to help and care for you like family. Dr Ogungbo is a wonderful neurosurgeon. I especially love how he allowed plenty of time for questions and really took his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. They all ensured I had a smooth prep, spinal surgery, and excellent follow-up. I received an international standard care in our local environ😊. I am so glad I chose BASS and would highly recommend them to anyone.

All I can say is that God is always on my case. I found BASS on google map and went through their videos and photos. Never knew God was directing me to the best spine surgeon I would ever meet. Am grateful for their love and selflessness. I had faith in them from the first day I saw them on the map. And 3 days later I had an emergency surgery. Doctor Ogungbo saw my pain and operated me immediately without asking for a dime. Nigeria is truly going to be great with people like him. God bless your healing hands doctor. God bless the entire BASS team. NB: I was smiling during the procedure 😂

Team BASS are wonderful. Dr. Ogumbo is and his team did a great job for me when I had my spinal surgery early this year. It was a great outcome and they are good at following up with their patients. Great team indeed!

They are established for cheating on people health. We went for stomach pain and they asked us for Rontgen film. They don't know human body. If you are foreigner definitely don't trust them, get offer from another Clinique, most probably you will find better service with 1/3 price.

Been there for two c sections and it s been a breeze 😌 👌🏻 they took good care of me and my babies the staff was super helpful caring and understanding which made my healing journey easier i strongly recommended if ur looking for a good place to welcome your bundle of joy😊

MRI technician are rude. Also I was operated and the doctor brought all his students during my operation to use my body as subject sample for them ti learn without my consent. Just because I was not a Tunisian and I am a foreigner I wasn’t treated lawfully and unfairly. My body was exposed to these men my consent.

Horrible, emotionally traumatic experience,irresponsible employees(not all, yet many, to be specific); the cost of the service is unreasonably high, absolutely disastrous finance department with pricing errors beyond 5k. They didn't accept my written complaint and never responded to the verbal, although promised.

Please avoid this hospital. I went in as an emergency patient and cannot believe how me and my family including young children were treated. No chairs or seats so my kids sat on the floor. All the hospital were concerned about was how I was going to pay. Whilst weak I had to walk around the hospital to different rooms just to make payment. I can’t believe hospitals so amateur unprofessional and selfish exist . Please beware.

The worst ever hospital I have ever been to in my life, unprofessional staff, complicated process just to get Into the emergency room, fees to open up a medical file eventhough I have my medical card, long awaiting to get in and a lot of people keeps redirecting me. I'm writing this review while waiting for almost 40 minutes just to have someone to check on me and I really feel sick and bad. Worst experience ever.

Worst experience ever . Rip my gm. From a broken leg

Dr Ibrahim El Ganzoury is the best diagnostician, incredibly smart and credible, reinstates trust in doctors..Loads of gratitude and best wishes for continued success & wellness

Good medical service. The clinics are running almost throughout the day. Although the service is expensive here, but almost everything there is covered by insurance, and then you will get the service for a very reasonable price.

This Good visited and reception and system with very nice and exprince doctors Just call 16221 for reserv

I am a consultant clinical oncologist, here we have all the treatments I can ask for, this is very important knowing that I can treat my patients according to the most recent international guidelines.

- Very Dirty hospital - Rude and unfocused doctors - Careless staff AVOID!
