Public Relations Department
Setting our standards and ensuring the well being, satisfaction and comfort of our patients and visitors is our primary goal. We always attempt to provide service according to the Batho Pele principles of service delivery which means “people must come first”. Should at any time you feel unsatisfied or have any grievance against the hospital or our staff, please feel free to contact the office of the Public Relations Officer. The PRO is always available From Monday – Friday at 7:30 – 16:00 to discuss and resolve the matters concerning the public and if ever the matter is not resolved immediately, the PRO will do an investigation concerning the matter to resolve it to your satisfaction and you will be given feedback.

Complaints and suggestions can be verbal or written and there are complaints/suggestion forms and boxes available at every public point throughout the hospital.

This is another way the G.J Crookes hospital is striving to ensure optimal customer satisfaction.

If ever you are not satisfied with the feedback from the PRO you can contact the Hospital Manager who can try and resolve your concern or the office of the Ombudsperson in the KZN Department of Health Head Office, telephone number is available on the website.
