Lack of Assistance/Proof of Address
This is an email sent to Mowbray last week. I called and was told that heir facilities manager is currently on leave then they put me on hold only to drop the call. Thus far there is no change, no response, no care, no assistance. I dont know what to do anymore. I am due in February and THIS is where I am suppose to go? THESE are the people I should trust with my life and the life of my unborn child? Good day Jessica/ To whom it may concern My name is Cindy Christians and I am a 36 year old woman, currently 27 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. On the 18th of May 2025 I attended Claremont Clinic where I reside, for my first prenatal visit. All checks were done accordingly and my next appointment was scheduled for the 2nd of July 2025. On the 2nd of July 2025 at my 2nd prenatal appointment I mentioned that I was having severe headaches, nausea and blurry vision. I mentioned that I was concerned about my blood pressure as I did not have these symptoms prior nor did i have them with my previous pregnancies. My BP had usually been low but since the pregnancy it has fluctuated many times. They advised that I should watch myself, gave me some tips on how to keep it under control and sent me home with my next prenatal visit being on the 15th of August 2025. As before, I attended Claremont Clinic on the allocated date and this is when I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. At this time I was only 12 weeks pregnant. The nursing sister then called Dr. Grunner at Groote Schuur Hospital, whereby he confirmed this telephonically and then advised that she give me some paracetamol for the headaches and write me a referral to collect the medication at Retreat Hospital as Claremont Clinic does not stock the medication I need, Aldomet 500mg. They initially said that I need to collect the Aldomet 500mg at Retreat Hospital and to not return to Claremont Clincic but instead go to Mowbray Maternity Hospital on the 21 August 2025 due to it now being a high risk pregnancy. The very next day I went to Retreat unaware that their pharmacy is closed on a Saturday. I then went to collect the medication the following Monday at around 6am before they opened. The pharmacist at Retreat Hospital then abruptly said that I cannot just come there for medication and that I will need to see a doctor first. After a day long wait I had opened a file at Retreat and eventually went in to see the doctor who confirmed that I cannot have pre-eclampsia because I am not far along enough to be diagnosed with the condition. He also made sure that I had no blood pressure issues prior and that it is pregnancy related. He then gave me a script for 2 weeks which I received before getting home at 16.30pm that day. As advised by Claremont, I then attended my first prenatal appointment at Mowbray Maternity Hospital on the 21 August 2025. This was the very first time I was asked if I was a home owner or leasing property and because I was renting they told me that I will have to provide a lease agreement, the owners utility bill and the owners ID. I then explained that myself and my husband are residing at 2 Church Street Cliffords Court Claremont and that I have been living here since the 1st of January 2025. In July 2025 the previous owner sold the property to the new owners and gave us a call to make us aware. The new owners are not from this country, they are from Pakistan or Bangladesh. I explained that I do not know them but that we have had a verbal agreement to continue the original lease. I explained that I could ask but that I am not sure if they could help as I myself do not know them and that I doubt I would be able to get a utility bill as I think they were still in the process of taking ownership. The doctor at MMH then probed for more info asking if I am a South African citizen before reiterating that they cannot assist me due to the fact that I dont have these documents and there is nothing they can do about it. I responded that I am a South African citizen and that I was born here. This left me extremely stressed and disoriented not knowing how I was going to provide the documents so that I could just be assisted and get my meds sorted asap. I then went to Lansdowne Clinic and asked if they could help me and they also turned me away stating that they are a lower level Clinic and that they cannot help me because I was referred to MMH because this is a high risk pregnancy and that is why I have been referred up. At this point I felt hopeless and decided to return to MMH on the 4th of September 2025. When my turn came to see the doctor I explained again and in further detail that I have spoken to my new landlord with no luck, I asked him for advise on what to do and even suggested that I get an affidavit to confirm everything. He was very arrogant and rude and barely gave me a chance to speak, arguing that he cannot help he even if he wanted to. He said an affidavit is unacceptable and that for all he knows I could be living on the other side of the world, he then went on to say that I would need to sort out the situation I got myself into. He mentioned that until I have the documents, I should not come back there and that I am "more than welcome" to go back to Claremont until I can provide the documentation if i want to be helped. He said that is my only way to "get your foot in the door here" and that if he helps me then he must do the same for everyone. I remained calm knowing that stress in a situation like this isn't good for any pregnant woman especially one who is now having to deal with hypertension keeping in mind that I had no medication left so I remained humble through his rant and managed to asked him for a script which he very quickly wrote before telling me to go pay for it myself in a condescending tone. The script was for a month and I collected it immediately at Rivets pharmacy in Wynberg. The very same day I went back to Claremont Clincic and told them what had happened and what the doctor had said and they were concerned about the medication. I told them that I have enough for a month and thereafter I will probably have to get another private script. They booked an appointment for me to come in on the 8th September 2025. Once again I was fine and my blood pressure was ok, I was on my medication so I was feeling better again. My next appointment was booked for the 6th October 2025 and everything went well. Knowing that MMH needs me to prove where I live in order to give me medical assistance, I then went to Dischem for my 1st sonar on the 11th November 2025. It was confirmed that myself and baby are doing ok and that there are no known or visible problems. I was back at Claremont Clinic on the 18th of November 2025. A different nurse then assisted me, she mentioned that she helps out there and that she is from an agency therefore did not know what to do as they still dont stock the medication I need and she does not know how to help me. She asked for advice from her peers and returned to the consultation saying that I shouldn't be there. Apparently they wanted to know why I am there as I should be at MMH. I explained the situation and that the doctor at MMH said I should attend there because they cannot help me at MMH due to that they dont have proof of where I live. They couldnt even provide me with a private script this time because there was no doctor on call and non of them know when the doctor was going to be there. Again I left without the medication I need. I want to mention that I visited my parents in George on the 12th of October 2025 for about 2 weeks. I went to the clinic during the first week there to ask if they could assist me with the medication I need. They had it in overflow, looked at my book after I got my file and gave me 3 packets after I explained what was happening here in Cape Town. I finished those pills on the 14th November 2025 and have been without medication ever since. I have tried various methods including taking half a disprin when needed, the headaches are getting increasingly worse leading to me taking up to 12 panados a day incl the disprin as I try to control my heartbeat, I am once again suffering from blurry vision and a heavy sensation in my chest. The headaches also cone with extreme nausea and Im finding it difficult to eat and in addition my hands and feet have begun to swell. My self and my husband have spoken to my landlord about this and the urgency thereof, he has told us that we are citizens of this country and should be helped and that he cannot help as he has a refugee status on his passport. I am not too clued up on immigration law and since we have spoken to him multiple times and even showed him the request on paper he insist that "I dont need those things from him". The last discussion we had with him was 2 days ago on the 25th November 2025. This morning I woke up extremely sick and tried to get they swelling down in my hands and feet, the panados help to a point but essentially the pain doesnt subside completely. I am due on the 23rd/26th of February but due to this condition I know I might need to be admitted earlier. I am aware that I have to be monitored closely incase my symptoms get out of control. I am currently unemployment and do not have the means to be ubering to Retreat and where ever in Cape Town for medication that I seriously need. I also do not have the finances to go to private doctors at the moment. My husband is currently the only one working so we are living on a single income. At this point I fear having a heart attack or a stroke as I have to manage my own well-being with over the counter meds and natural remedies that dont always seem to have an effect. This is giving me extreme stress and anxiety and everyone says its dangerous yet nobody know what to do, nobody can help me. Everyone responds with "sorry, theres nothing we can do" it seems my only option is to wait until theres an emergency or worse. Its clear that I have nowhere to go, no one is willing or able to help me because I cannot force my landlord to give me what I need. I am at wits end. This morning I phoned the Department of Health and spoke to a guy named Ruchian Ref no for the call: 25112700050. He provided me with your details. He said that you are the facilities manager and you are the best person to assist me with this matter. Jessica, this email is lengthy but not nearly as long as my struggle to get the help I need. This is my 4th pregnancy but my first risky one so it's all new to me aswell but whats disappointing is the lack of help and support during this time, the way I was and am getting treated at a very vulnerable time. It's left nothing but a bad aura causing me to feel even more worried for when I need to give birth. MMH has turned me away twice now. I have given bith at Milnerton Medi Clinic, Discovery Hospital in Johannesburg and George Hospital but I have never experienced this sort of treatment. Im actually scared of coming there and unfortunately my next appointment is tomorrow at 7am. Please tell me what to do, where to go, how to deal with this in the best way possible. If you cant help me because you not sure where I live, please confirm that in writing so that I am able to get the help I need elsewhere. This is literally my last try to get help at MMH and time is not on my side. I've been struggling to get assistance, medication any consistent help. To my knowledge there is nothing more I can do and I am starting to become desperate and concerned about where I am going to deliver and how my health is at risk every single day without the medication which I need to be on. I'd appreciate any help you are able to give me concerning this matter. Regards Cindy Christians

Fathers denied presence during pregnancy
I can't wrap my head around the fact that the fathers of the babies are not allowed into the hospital. Why is it deemed that the mother is more important than the father. Mowbray is not the only non-private hospital or clinic to have this policy. My son had to spend all night in his car outside the hospital because he was not allowed into the hospital. His girlfriend was rushed to hospital last night due to spotting and pain at 7 months pregnant. She gets told it's a dangerous sign, which obviously causes anxiety but my son is not allowed to be with her or his son. The policy regarding the permission for the father to be present for all visits for check-ups for the mom or baby shld be changed. No reason is good enough. COVID is gone. My son is losing out on special moments regarding his baby's growth and health. He is not even allowed in for the ultra sounds. I cannot believe that other father's are not up in arms about this. Very concerned Mom

AMAZING SERVICES RENDERED !!
Good afternoon ma'am I would just like to say thank you so much for a beautiful services rendered to me, during my pregnancy and after. From my OPD visits with sister Hill and sister Conradie. They have grown so close to my heart. I couldn't wait for appointment day. From the warm welcoming in the morning to the end of the appointment. All the staff with their friendly good mornings and smiley faces. I'm utterly thankful to each and everyone of them. To my beautiful birth experience with all the staff on hand. My water broke the Thursday and I was well taken care of up until birth. Monitored for 24hrs and then my induction process started. So grateful for the sister Nonjabula Ngema in stage 1 labour. She was with me throughout the entire process. I was then moved to labour ward. Where sister Jones (short dark complexion sister, a bit unsure of the name) was guiding me every step of the way. I had my mom and husband as birth partners. They treated us like royalty. I felt like I was on medical aid with the amazing service even better. OMW. Forever grateful to the amazing staff of Mowbray Maternity Hospital. You guys are truly amazing. Thank you very much 😊 Keep up the excellent service. Regards Mishkah Khan

Scared to deliver after giving normal birth to baby laying breedge
It was in 2017 while I was about to deliver my baby boy I got there then the Dr did a check to see how far I'm open to deliver he then said to my husband your wife is in labour and baby is on his way she is about 7 cm open and I'm gonna deliver this baby my self it's gonna be a smooth delivery he said not knowing when I got to the labour ward about to deliver already in labour the midwife seems to see that something is not rite after checking how many cm meters I'm open she ran out came in with a Dr and a scan machine only to find out baby is bridge and did not turn into position for me to give birth the Dr had to put his hand up in me to turn baby while I'm pushing as I'm in labour and it's to late to do anything ells then baby was born with feet out first I had 3 children before this and never have I expected to give birth like this it was a delivery of hell but if this Dr did not come in time I don't know what would have happened to me and my baby I have the biggest fear in me now then I'm 38 weeks pregnant again now and was admitted at 36 weeks with abscess and was treat by the doctors they way they to care of me felt like I was in a private hospital but the sisters were just unconcern you could feel the cold hearted feeling from them there were only two nice once that helped me as the Dr said I must use ice packs for the swelling but they never put it in the freezer or if they did then I would wait a long period if they remember to bring it leaving me in such pain I could not walk because of the pain but those sisters did not care at all then I was discharged still with the pain of the as the absence did not go away even after antibiotics the Dr give me now I had to be back at hospital on the 13 of may but was to scared the go back still have the absence on my private part can't walk still in pain and am at my due date Monday 24th of june but am scared to go in to hospital because of my previous delivery in 2017 now I'm sitting with pain can't walk or move like normal waiting on my own labour pains to kick In but the Dr told me they would fetch baby at 38 weeks but I'm so scared and it's because I had a still born in 2004 as well I'm stressed out and sacred at the same time don't no must I go in to hospital or just wait for labour pains to come by it's self

It was in 2017 while I was about to deliver my baby boy I got there then the Dr did a check to see how far I'm open to deliver he then said to my husband your wife is in labour and baby is on his way she is about 7 cm open and I'm gonna deliver this baby my self it's gonna be a smooth delivery he said not knowing when I got to the labour ward about to deliver already in labour the midwife seems to see that something is not rite after checking how many cm meters I'm open she ran out came in with a Dr and a scan machine only to find out baby is bridge and did not turn into position for me to give birth the Dr had to put his hand up in me to turn baby while I'm pushing as I'm in labour and it's to late to do anything ells then baby was born with feet out first I had 3 children before this and never have I expected to give birth like this it was a delivery of hell but if this Dr did not come in time I don't know what would have happened to me and my baby I have the biggest fear in me now then I'm 38 weeks pregnant again now and was admitted at 36 weeks with abscess and was treat by the doctors they way they to care of me felt like I was in a private hospital but the sisters were just unconcern you could feel the cold hearted feeling from them there were only two nice once that helped me as the Dr said I must use ice packs for the swelling but they never put it in the freezer or if they did then I would wait a long period if they remember to bring it leaving me in such pain I could not walk because of the pain but those sisters did not care at all then I was discharged still with the pain of the as the absence did not go away even after antibiotics the Dr give me now I had to be back at hospital on the 13 of may but was to scared the go back still have the absence on my private part can't walk still in pain and am at my due date Monday 24th of june but am scared to go in to hospital because of my previous delivery in 2017 now I'm sitting with pain can't walk or move like normal waiting on my own labour pains to kick In but the Dr told me they would fetch baby at 38 weeks but I'm so scared and it's because I had a still born in 2004 as well I'm stressed out and sacred at the same time don't no must I go in to hospital or just wait for labour pains to come by it's self

Excellent service at Mowbray hospital
I would like to give Doctor Unati a 5 star for her services rendered at mowbray hospital.. Extremely patient compassionate and helpful.. One can genuinely see that she loves what she does at mowbray hospital.. Doctor Alie as busy as she is she makes you feel at home and well cared for.. I would like to name everyone by name whom really deserves 5 stars however can not recall all the names.. It's my second time around attending this hospital and I am in awe once again with services received.. Dr Van Der Westhuizen also very straight to the point, professional and polite. THESE DOCTORS ARE AMAZING ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR KINDNESS, Respect and COMPASSION FOR THEIR JOBS ARE SHOWN. I would like to add the staff nurses not all just one or 2 for their abrupt behaviors, but I'd rather over look that and give this hospital especially and most importantly the doctors a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10 .. Why 9)? There's always that one doctor or person who wants to mess up everything for everyone. I know the doctors name but we won't mention her today.. she too is doing a great job just with a bit of an attitude.. which is probably okay I don't know .. Ooohhh then there is the kitchen.. absolutely totally and completely amazing to eat from and to speak to. Dorothy Mannoe especially always gives exceptional services. She serves as if she she serves her loved ones at home.. beautiful.. her 2 slices of brown bread fills me just with the kind of love she serves it.. keep up the great work..her team is adorable, too!!!! Overall I simply love this hospital for their hospitality (smiley face)

Staff was amazing but how can I afford that.
Firstly I was never notified prior of cost. At 2am this morning I received SMS with the following. Kindly settle 21,564.30 Mowbray Maternity Hospital MMH00283714W Deposit Nedbank|Branch Code 14 52 09 - Account Number 1452 047 057 Tel. 0216595901 I even received this from my medical aid below. Bankmed confirms your treatment on 31 Jul, with authorisation number 28959169. Kindly supply this number to your healthcare provider on the day. The sad thing is that I am a single mom And my angel was in their High care for seven days. My angel passed away at 23 days old and I am taking it so hard and now this out of no where. Isnt this a government hospital and yes my daughter was born with a condition that had no cure trisomy 13. As a grieving single mom... how could they just send me a SMS and no prior communication.
