The Department of Health’s spokesperson, Dumisani Malamule, said the second event was held to accommodate the nurses who could not attend the provincial function at Church Unlimited Nelspruit a few weeks ago.

These events are held as a way to keep nurses motivated.

“The hospital management wants to encourage the workers and show its appreciation for the work they do on a daily basis.”
