Tshwane District Hospital

Tshwane District Hospital (TDH), formerly known as Pretoria Academic Hospital, is the spiritual and operational home of HospiVision. It was here in 1997 that a coalition of churches and faith-based organisations first responded to the profound emotional and spiritual needs of patients—and where our head office remains today.

Under the coordination of Johnny Erasmus, the TDH team manages the complex requirements of serving as HospiVision's headquarters while maintaining a strong presence in the wards. Our volunteers provide spiritual care, counselling, and practical support to patients across the hospital.

A unique feature of our work at TDH is our commitment to supporting healthcare workers. Pastor Harold conducts daily devotions that reach over 11,000 staff members, providing moments of peace and spiritual encouragement for the nurses, doctors, and support staff on the front lines of healthcare.

Every Sunday, our team hosts services at both the hospital chapel and the Rehabilitation Centre, averaging 25 patients and 12 staff members per session, creating sacred spaces for reflection and community within the hospital walls.

We offer our services to Tshwane District Hospital Mortuary, where we facilitate the burial of unclaimed individuals-ensuring that those who die without family are laid to rest with respect and compassion. In 2025, we facilitated burials for over 20 individuals.

HospiVision was founded at this hospital in 1997 when churches in the Moot area of Pretoria recognised the need for holistic care that addressed not just physical illness, but the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of patients. In 1998, Dr André de la Porte was appointed as Managing Director, and in 1999, HospiVision was formally registered as a Section 21 Non-Profit Company.

Your donation helps us assist patients, equip volunteers, and maintain our office and chapel at Tshwane District Hospital, ensuring we continue providing vital care and support.
