I have had the misfortune of needing 16 surgeries in the past few years.  The old

Academic Hospital on Dr Savage Drive in

Pretoria was the first government hospital I went to for help.

A violent assault led to my abdominal muscles being ruined. At the

Academic

Hospital they not only saved my life but also redesigned a prosthesis, which would hold my intestines in place, although my body rejected this prosthesis, the Professors who practice at the Academic did not give up. 

Other than the numerous surgeries, I received excellent care from everybody at the hospital, this ranges from the janitors to the nurses. I have profound respect for this hospital was with very little funds they do more than save lives; they give you kindness and expert care.
