Clairwood Hospital

About Clairwood Hospital

Clairwood Hospital operates primarily as a provincial public, specialized rehabilitation and convalescent facility, meaning it focuses on long-term recovery and does not have a general, walk-in Emergency Unit or intensive care unit. Instead, its specialized medical services center around comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, speech and audiology services, dietetics, and chronic care. The hospital provides basic medical, surgical, and pediatric inpatient services, but its surgical care is restricted to minor outpatient procedures like medical male circumcision. It does not provide comprehensive labor and delivery services; its maternity care is restricted to an outpatient Ante Natal Clinic and basic post-natal care. Supported by essential diagnostic services including on-site radiology (X-ray) and medical laboratory testing, the facility also provides primary healthcare through specialized outpatient departments, including a dental clinic, family planning unit, tuberculosis (TB) clinic, and an anti-retroviral treatment (ART) program.
