About Life Hunterscraig Hospital

Life Hunterscraig Private Hospital is a dedicated short-term admission psychiatric and mental health facility that treats private and medical aid patients in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. The hospital features a 24-hour emergency unit equipped to manage acute crises. Rather than offering general medical infrastructure like surgical procedures, maternity care, or intensive care, the hospital focuses exclusively on psychiatric care, mental health programs, and substance addiction rehabilitation.

Key services include treatment for anxiety, depression, bipolar mood disorder, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder, supported by an observation/high-care unit for seriously ill patients. Care is administered by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists utilizing crisis counselling, life skills training, and cognitive behavioural therapy, alongside a dedicated 6-bed specialized adolescent unit.
