Over the years, paediatric activities at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital and Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital have all benefited from our assistance and our efforts have extended to assist our satellite sites too namely Sebokeng, Thelle Mogoerane and Klerksdorp hospitals. This year we welcome and are delighted to announce that the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital has become the fourth satellite site on our training circuit as well.
