SURGERY
A brand new operating theatre complex has recently been completed
with three new anaesthetic machines and copious space. Probably
the busiest theatre in the district, we perform:
Laparotomies
Hernia repairs
Hysterectomies
Skin-grafts
Caesarian sections
among others
SATELLITE
CLINICS
One of the best aspects of the Manguzi sub district are the well
run satellite clinics. There are 10 residential and 30 mobile clinic
points (visited by 3 mobile clinic vehicles and accompanying teams).
The clinics offer professional nurses a unique opportunity of being
able to manage their own patients, with the backup of hospital doctors
(who visit the residential clinics once a week) or easy referral
to hospital if required.
THERAPY
DEPARTMENT
The therapy
department (Physio, OT, Speech and hearing, dietetics) sees a whole
range of both inpatients and outpatients also visiting both the
residential and mobile clinics.

Apart from support
from more senior colleagues, Specialist support and advice can be
obtained from the Referral Hospitals (Tertiary level), in Empangeni
(300km away) and Durban (500km). There are also regular visits from
the Red Cross Flying Doctors. There are many on going projects at
Manguzi that offer an extra challenge to interested people including
a Nutrition Education Project, Psychiatry Clinic, TB and an AIDS
team.
