Tara Hospital is a Specialised Psychiatric Hospital, and we provide tertiary / quaternary level psychiatric care. For our outpatient services we work strictly according to catchment areas as well as the required level of psychiatric services. For inpatient services Tara Hospital has waiting lists for all the inpatient programmes / wards and priority is given to patients currently admitted to an acute unit and requiring longer admissions for stabilization. Tara Hospital does not have a casualty / emergency department, and we do not have an onsite laboratory of radiological services. Should you arrive at Tara without an appointment you will be assessed by our doctor on call and managed accordingly. Should you require admission, a referral to an acute hospital will be made as this may require medical work (laboratory and radiology). In case of an emergency and to avoid the delay of the Tara Hospital needing to transfer the patient to an acute facility it is recommended that you go directly to your nearest casualty. Referral is done by means of a referral form completed by your treating psychiatrist. This The form can be obtained from Tara Admissions by calling 011 535 3064 and returned to Thulani.Mabasa@gauteng.gov.za

• Patients are placed on a waiting list and are accepted for admission when a bed is available or as per multidisciplinary team assessment (for specialised units).
• Patients are referred by psychiatric units in general hospitals, psychiatric registrars or consultants working at community clinics and psychiatrists in private practice.
• Patients following up at Tara may also be placed on the waiting list when admission is needed.
• Patients with serious medical or physical health conditions will be assessed for suitability on a case-by-case basis as we do not have access to onsite physician or surgical support, neither onsite laboratory nor radiology services.

In Loving Memory of Sr. Nthabiseng Elizabeth Kgotlhang

Tara Hospital lost not just a colleague, but a bright light in our nursing family. Family, friends, and colleagues gathered on Tuesday for a moving memorial service to bid farewell to our beloved Sr. Kgotlhang, who served with dedication and compassion in Ward 1 and 2.

Her warmth, kindness, and cheerful spirit touched every life she encountered. She served with purpose, loved her work deeply, and inspired others through her commitment and gentle nature.

Beyond her professional excellence, Sr. Kgotlhang was a devoted mother, loving friend, and a woman whose zest for life was truly contagious. She loved to travel, explore the outdoors, and embrace new experiences with courage and curiosity. Her favorite saying, “Life is for the living!”, reminds us all to be present and grateful for every moment.

Sr. Kgotlhang will be laid to rest in her hometown, Kuruman (Northern Cape), on Saturday. Her memory will continue to live on in our hearts and in the halls of Tara Hospital.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
