Bertha Gxowa Hospital embarks on charitable activities
“Our dedicated staff members contributed these donations in honour of Mandela Month,” said Marapyane.
The Bertha Gxowa Hospital joined the Mandela Month activities by donating non-perishable foods and toiletries to the SAVF Old Age Home in Elspark, Germiston.
The health facility also participated in the second annual edition of the surgical marathon initiative.
It addresses the pressing issue of patient backlogs in key medical fields, including paediatrics, orthopaedics, neurology, urology, myomectomy, and breast surgeries.

“The Bertha Gxowa Hospital management and the events committee then donated to the SAVF Old Age Home. Our dedicated staff members contributed these donations in honour of Mandela Month,” said Marapyane.
