The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital
The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital (NMCH) is a dedicated paediatric facility serving the children of Southern Africa. What this hospital does is centered on giving children the one thing they need the most: the ability to just be children.
At a time when the global community is devastated by COVID-19, NMCH has had to adapt and subsequently make provisions to deal with potential cases and continue providing critical care to our patients. This has been made possible, thanks to our community who continue to support our hospital in a meaningful way, leaving a lasting impact.
