From 1 September 2025, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital’s official daily visiting hours are 13:00 – 15:00, including weekends[4].
This update replaces the previous hours of 14:00–16:00 and aims to support patient care, reduce disruptions, and improve infection control[4].
Key visitor guidelines to keep in mind:
- Visiting is allowed only within the designated 13:00 – 15:00 time slot[4].
- Special arrangements continue for paediatric patients, ICU/critical care, and end-of-life situations; these exceptions are managed by clinical teams on a compassionate basis[4].
- Check directly with the relevant hospital ward for specific times if visiting specialised units such as maternity, children’s ward, or ICU, as these may differ from general wards[2].
- For any emergency or after-hours visits, prior arrangement with hospital administration is required[2].
The hospital advises visitors to contact the relevant department before planning a visit, in case of last-minute policy or schedule adjustments[2].
