ROYAL HOSPITAL
Physical Rehab and
Sub-acute Facility
Sub-acute Facility
Royal Rehabilitation Hospital is physical rehabilitation and sub-acute facility in the vicinity of several leading hospitals in Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas. The hospital was established based on the vision of bridging the gap between acute, sub-acute and home care. The facility caters for the needs of patients who do not need the conventional in-patient treatment an acute hospital provides but in a more relaxed and home-like setting.
