A self-administered questionnaire was the instrument utilized and data was analysed using mean, median, SD, range, Mann Whitney, t-test and chi-square. Patients were aged 18 years old and above, admitted at least 2 days, and must not be in any form of distress. Those with mental disorder or in emergency cases were excluded in the study. Based on the results, 89% of private ward patients and 97% of charity ward patients were highly satisfied. Furthermore, results showed that there was no significant difference between the type of ward and the level of satisfaction in terms of quality of room, quality of services, human relations, and the overall patient satisfaction.
