From Getrude Madonsela - Thank you note to the staff at Arwyp:  For all the special kindness you gave me and thoughtful things you did; for all the love you’ve shown me and time you cared for me when I was sick. It’s a joy to send you this letter and to say a big thank you.

April 2011

Hi All,  I just want to say Thank you so much ( to the Airport clinic staff) for caring for our mom yesterday. You were really so understanding and so compassionate in understanding our dilemma. We always hear of all the terrible things that happen in SA so I am so happy and pleased and want people to know that we do have a great country with a lot of people like you guys who care. My mom is well and will travel today. Thanks so much for taking care of her luggage and being there and doing your jobs well.
From Sharon Thurston 

Good day, Very often people are very quick to complain, but less easily compliments are given when they are in order. On Thursday evening I was feeling unwell, and quite late my wife took me through to Arwyp for medical attention and treatment. When we arrived a lady immediately inquired about my well-being and showed me to the emergency room, unfortunately I did not get her name, so she will be one of the un-sung heroes of the evening. The lady that received me and opened the file was very efficient and caring too. I was received and treated by a male sister at first and there after I was attended to by the doctor. He accurately diagnosed my condition/problems and prescribed some medication. His manner and care was great, and speaks of his passion and dedication to his career and service. On Saturday already I was feeling a lot better! I hope that the other people’s names would be evident from my file, as they need a HUGE thank you! Also the facilities were world class. Something that you can surely pride yourselves on.
Thank you and warm regards; Reg G

July 2009 
From Bronwen Lester - I was brought into your casualty department on the night of 7th May 09 with a badly broken ankle. I was also ten weeks pregnant at the time.  In casualty I was treated with care and compassion. Later I was admitted to a ward on the 4th floor.  I was immediately swamped by fantastic nursing staff. They sat with me throughout the night as I cried from the pain as I was not allowed any pain killers due to my pregnancy. During my 3 day stay at Arwyp I could not have asked for better attention or assistance.  FANTASTIC STAFF!! WELL DONE! The food and the Menu choices were outstanding and extremely tasty bringing new meaning to “hospital food”.  It really was appetising and arrived warm!!  I would just like to take this opportunity to Thank Arwyp hospital for the fantastic service received during my stay and for the wonderful staff members that they have employed!!  You really are a great Hospital!!
 
From Mashilo Mokgesi– Admission staff were so helpful and have time to explain or guide during the filling in of forms. Team work is the winner as every time I needed a team member they were available to assist.  Food was well prepared and attractive just the way I have ordered. As an individual I think that a clean environment also contribute to healing. Thumbs up! Just continue with your service any improvement will be extras.&nb
