The one thing every patient needs is to recover quickly to get back to work, school or any other activity that may be interrupted by time in hospital. Patients need to be assured that a hospital will act in their best interest. The South African private hospital sector is touted as the best in the world just by taking great care to match the patients’ needs and, yes, their every whim. In 2006 it was estimated that our hospitals accounted for 29.4% of all hospital visits in the country – up from 23.3% in 2002.
This is a vote of confidence by the many users of healthcare facilities. The reasons for this confidence is found in the general household survey as conducted by Statistics South Africa, where private hospitals score a very high satisfaction rating and thus have been able to attract more patients. The private sector hospitals average patient days-per-visit is also low, which indicates that patients probably spend less time away from work when using a private sector hospital.
