McCord Provincial Eye Hospital

McCord Provincial Eye Hospital is the former Semi Private Hospital that was taken over by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health in February 2014. Services offered are at Provincial level and therefore all patients need a referral from other Health care providers. There is no general outpatients. The Hospital has 77 inpatient beds

McCord Hospital was officially opened in May 1909 by Dr James McCord who, with his wife Margaret, had come to South Africa from the USA, sent by the American Board Missions to work at Adams Mission in Amanzimtoti. Before opening the hospital they worked from a dispensary in Beatrice Street, with the phenomenal nurse, Katie Makhanya. There they performed minor operations, dispensed medicine and spread the faith of non-denominational Christianity.
