We’d like to share some comments we have recently received from former patients and their family members:

‘Thank you so much to all the staff and Doctors on the Surgery ward for the loving care you gave my husband during his stay. You’re always in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all and the good work you do.’

‘I would like to take this time to thank the staff at UCT Private Academic Hospital, for the time that my husband was in the Surgical 1 ward. Thanks to the different teams that attended to him even up till the last few seconds of his life here on earth. May God continue to bless your staff as you attend to the needs of all your patients.’

‘No note of very sincere thanks can encompass the total satisfaction at all levels during my short stay – I don’t know how you achieve it in the current world! But you have achieved at the highest level. Well done!’

‘I always felt that I was your only patient, but then again I know that the other four in the ward felt the same way. What you have achieved needs to be preserved. You all have the ability to do that and I experienced your desire and pride to carry that achievement through the years to come. Thank you sincerely.’

‘It’s wonderful knowing people as kind and considerate as you are. Thank you for all you have done. Lots of love, we will never forget what you’ve done for us
and our children.’

‘To all the sisters and nurses in ICU + Surgical ward! Only you could care so much. I truly appreciate all you do for me. Thank you for all your help and your excellent care at UCT Hospital!! I really appreciate it and won’t forget any of you.’

‘People like you help make the world brighter by the nice things you do!’

‘My husband spent some time in the Hospital recently and we would like to extend our thanks to all concerned and compliment you on a well run organisation.’

‘We found the use of our surname by so many of the staff made us feel as if people were really interested in us and we were not just a number. We would particularly like to thank and compliment the ICU Staff for their dedication and interest in their patients’ well being. Sister Thembi runs the ward with wisdom, grace and efficiency. Sisters Ellis, Patricia, Pearl and Lynnette were specially helpful and kind.

I was most grateful that they allowed me to be there for so much of the time, which was such a help to me and to my husband. The atmosphere in the General Ward was pleasant and Sister Antionette and Staff Nurse Kim went out of their way to help us. Many thanks for trying to make a Hospital visit as easy as possible.’

‘Liewe Verpleegpersoneel Chirurgiesaal
Aan een en almal van u my opregte waardering en dankbaarheid vir u bekwame en simpatieke versorging tydens my verblyf in u saal. Die vriendelike, rustige en gemoedelike atmosfeer waarbinne ek as pasient so lekker verlig gevoel het spreek baie van die hoë gehalte diens
wat u hospital lewer.’

‘I wish to convey my deepest appreciation for the wonderful teamwork evident at this great hospital. It was a privilege for me to be here among such capable, dedicated staff – all working in harmony doing wonderful work to bring recovery and health back to many patients, and of course myself.

I noticed this dedication from the Specialist doctors, the nursing staff, the admin staff – right down to the domestic and kitchen staff – all had smiling faces, eager to be of service.

Then of course, the fine work done by yourselves and the laboratory staff. It takes team work like I have experienced to make this hospital a very special and indeed in fact the very BEST! This tells me that all who work here are proud of the work done at UCT Hospital. ’

‘Very many thanks to you and your staff for all the care and attention I received during my stay following my back op. I am making very good progress and look forward to a full recovery very soon.’
