About McCord Hospital

McCord Provincial Eye Hospital, operated by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health, is a specialized provincial public medical facility in Durban, South Africa. The institution does not house a 24-hour general emergency centre, maternity care, or intensive care units; instead, it functions strictly on a referral basis with no general walk-in outpatient services. Its clinical services are heavily concentrated on specialized ophthalmology, offering diagnostic eye assessments, dedicated ophthalmic surgical procedures, such as advanced cataract surgeries, and ongoing management for diverse ocular diseases and visual pathologies. The facility operates a 77-bed inpatient capacity to support patients recovering from specialized surgical eye interventions.
