Nurture group open patient-centered hospital in Ballito

Plates were piled high and good vibes flowed at the launch of the Nurture Ballito Hospital last Thursday evening.

Speeches were given by CEO Rob Campbell, founder Riel du Toit and QASA CEO Ari Seirlis.

The first Nurture Hospital was launched in Port Elizabeth around twenty years ago.

Du Toit said the launch of the Ballito hospital, in Ingenuity Park, was the most successful project that they had taken on thus far.

“But putting up a hospital like this is nothing compared to making it work,” he said, going on to talk about the importance of making each patient feel respected and comfortable.

Seirlis officially opened the hospital, popping a bottle of champagne in celebration.

“The launch event was well received, and the key players that needed to be there were there,” said Nurture’s marketing consultant, Lauren Abdo.
