Groote Schuur Hospital – Private and International Patient Services

"I would like to thank Groote Schuur Hospital and the Groote Schuur Orthopaedic Clinic for the excellent care I received. After a serious motorcycle accident left me with a significant lower limb injury that affected my ability to walk since 2024, I consulted multiple doctors in both private and government sectors. Unfortunately, I did not experience much improvement. When I was referred to Prof/Dr Maritz Laubscher and his team early in 2025, things finally changed. My medical history was properly reviewed, a clear treatment plan was put in place, and I began seeing real progress. Today, I am able to walk 100% again. In addition, the wards are extremely clean and well maintained. Every nurse I interacted with was professional, attentive, and supportive throughout my stay. Thank you to Prof/Dr Laubscher and the entire team for their expertise and quality care. Highly recommended."

"Thank you to the Orthopedics department team at Groote Schuur. 6 weeks after my hip replacement walking now with no problem. Wonderful and helpful teams all around. From the lady at Reception, the x ray team, the nurse and doctors, the physio team, the post op care. Thank you and god bless you all."

"I had the worse hospital experience of my life at this place. It didnt took a long for the first service. But they took me to a hospital bed and didnt say nothing for almost 12h.. I took 6 hours to have a serum and I was about 20 hours without drinking water.. the Doctor Salome Kok performed an IV in my arm as if I were a horse, and it still hurts to this day... the treatment was extremely inhumane, I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone."

"So this porter helped me yesterday when i needed help with all my bags, we presented a workshop for Look Good Feel Better for cancer pacients, thank you for your help and friendlyness Renaldo!"

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the hospital staff for the excellent care and dedication shown to patients. A special thank you to Dr Ayah and Dr Mathosa for your commitment, professionalism, and the amazing work you do in helping patients. Your care and attention are truly appreciated. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the eye clinic nurses and all the staff. You are all doing incredible work and consistently providing kind and supportive care. Thank you once again for everything. I am truly grateful."
