Zamokuhle Private Hospital provides free pregnancy advice

Women attended a Pregnancy Awareness Day at Zamokuhle Private Hospital in Hospital View on February 23.

The hospital’s stakeholder relations manager, Nobuhle Linda, said the hospital’s objectives were to educate and empower the community and patients about pregnancy-related topics, as well as to quell the many myths regarding pregnancy.

“The experienced multidisciplinary clinical team provided a holistic health talk and offered advice, as well as demonstrated exercises that expectant moms can do at home.

“Our resident doctor also provided free HIV testing and counselling to everyone who attended the event.

“This is an ongoing project open to the members of the community. If anyone is interested they can contact Dr Mashamaite on 011 923 7752,” said Linda.

She said the event was an opportunity for the moms and dads to share their journeys with each other, knowing they are not alone.

Linda added that Zamokuhle Private Hospital would like congratulate all expectant parents and thank all the guests who were able to attend this event.
