The fire broke out on Saturday in the hospital's emergency unit.
The cause of the fire is not yet clear as investigations are underway.
Patients in the unit were evacuated.
Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza says that due to the proximity of the unit to the rest of the hospital, the main hospital traffic was not affected.
