Accommodation near Kalafong Hospital
Kalafong Hospital is a public hospital situated in
Pretoria, the capital city of Gauteng. It is found in the western outskirts of
the city, next to the suburb of Atteridge. It is roughly 12 kilometres from the
centre. The hospital is a tertiary health care facility and is utilised by the
University of Pretoria's faculty of health sciences as a teaching hospital.
As a tertiary hospital, the community that
the hospital cares for is made up of patients who have been referred there from
either primary or secondary health care facilities. This happens when their
ailment requires more sophisticated treatment. As a public hospital Kalafong
cannot claim the kind of resources that a private institution might, but the
care it provides is solid none-the-less.
Kalafong Hospital was constructed in the
1960's and opened its doors to the first patients in 1972. However it was only
officially (and publicly) opened the following year. Today it is a
multidisciplinary hospital offering a range of care from orthopaedics and
general medicine to surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology. There are
also ancillary services such as occupational therapy and physiotherapy.
As a teaching hospital, in addition to the
employed registrars and medical officers, there is always an accoutrement of
medical students, interns and community service doctors on hand. Some of the
hospital's special units, which are especially valuable to both patients and
young doctors, focus on things like infectious diseases, neonatology & kangaroo
mother care, and paediatric genetics.
The neonatology department is highly specialised
and in addition to the neonatal intensive care unit, high care unit and
observation unit, there is also a 20 bed ward set aside for mothers and babies
practising the kangaroo mother care method (research shows that premature
babies do better when they have skin-on-skin contact with their mothers). A large emphasis is also placed on the value of breast-feeding.
