It is particularly meaningful because it reflects the confidence that our patients, healthcare professionals and the broader business community place in our hospital. This award belongs to everyone who is part of Life Westville Hospital."
Life Westville Hospital has been recognised as one of KwaZulu-Natal’s leading private hospitals after receiving the prestigious PMR Africa Golden Arrow Award – an achievement that reflects the dedication of its doctors, nurses, support staff and management team.
The award recognises organisations that consistently deliver excellence in their respective industries and is based on independent research among businesses and professionals. For Life Westville Hospital, this recognition reflects the confidence and support of its patients, healthcare professionals, and the broader community.
Hospital manager, Ishan Sewpersad, said the recognition belongs to every member of the Life Westville Hospital team.
“Receiving the PMR Africa Golden Arrow Award is an honour and a proud milestone for Life Westville Hospital. It is particularly meaningful because it reflects the confidence that our patients, healthcare professionals and the broader business community place in our hospital. This award belongs to everyone who is part of Life Westville Hospital.”
Sewpersad said the hospital’s greatest strength is its people, whose commitment to patient care has been instrumental in achieving the recognition.
“Every day, our teams go above and beyond to ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care while treating them with kindness, dignity and compassion. We are constantly looking for ways to improve by investing in our people, embracing innovation and strengthening the way we work together.”
He added that the hospital also values the strong relationships it has built with referring doctors and healthcare partners, recognising that exceptional healthcare is always a collaborative effort.
The award reflects the contribution of every employee within the hospital, from doctors, nurses and clinicians to pharmacists, administrators, catering teams, maintenance staff, cleaners and management.
“There are so many people working behind the scenes who help make every patient’s journey a positive one. Every individual plays an important role in delivering the quality care our patients expect and deserve,” Sewpersad said.
Rather than viewing the award as the culmination of its efforts, Life Westville Hospital sees it as motivation to continue improving the care and services it provides.
Patients can continue to expect compassionate, patient-centred healthcare supported by a strong focus on clinical excellence, innovation and patient safety.
