In commemoration of Pregnancy Awareness Week, Life Empangeni Private Hospital hosted its annual Maternity Open Day.

The day involved a variety of informative talks, interactive activities, games and prizes for attendees.

Hospital Manager Jithen Seeparsad opened the day by welcoming the parents-to-be and informing them about Life Empangeni Private Hospital’s modern maternity and NICU facilities, promising some of the best care in the region.

The event featured insightful presentations by resident gynaecologist & obstetrician, Dr. Nonjabulo Dladla.

A range of other topics by healthcare professionals were also covered, such as pain management, a baby bath demonstration, antenatal care and exercise during pregnancy.

Expecting parents had the opportunity to ask questions and tour the maternity unit, gaining first-hand insight into the facilities and care available.

The day was not only educational, but also fun and interactive, making it a memorable occasion for all attendees.

This open day was a fantastic way for parents-to-be to learn and connect with healthcare professionals, gaining a wealth of information regarding their pregnancy journey, and how Life Empangeni Private Hospital remains committed to making life better for them along the way.
