Tembisa Hospital receives medical equipment
We are very grateful to Novartis for the donation and for lending a hand and giving their time to help
In celebration of Novartis South Africa’s 23rd annual Community Partnership Day and Nelson Mandela Day, the company’s more than 200 employees and associates spent their time giving back to their communities.
The company spent their Mandela Day at the Tembisa Hospital where they assisted in cleaning, picking up litter and hand over donations of medical equipment, children’s toys and books.
“While we work to improve and extend people’s lives every day at Novartis, Community Partnership Day is a powerful opportunity for us to give back directly to our community and Nelson Mandela Day is the perfect opportunity to make a difference and show what we can achieve when we work together,” said Mo Kadwa, CEO, Novartis South Africa.
“It’s a day where our associates get to spend time with local organisations to work on different kinds of projects. It’s a privilege to be working alongside these groups today,” he continued.
The late Nelson Mandela once said: “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.
“We are very grateful to Novartis for the donation and for lending a hand and giving their time to help make our hospital a clean environment for our staff and patients. The medical equipment that we have received from Novartis will go a long way in enabling the hospital to serve its patients in an optimal way,” said Dr Lekopane Mogaladi, CEO, Tembisa Hospital.
