April 2010!

Last month 3000 toothbrushes were donated by Aquafresh to our dental department! So far 400 have been distributed to local schools, and the hospital is offering a free toothbrush when you get a clean and polish! They are disappearing quickly so its first come, first serve!



Finally, the Therapy department has its mobile clinic back! After 4 months without a vehicle, it is great to be able to start visiting the 6 clinics in the surrounding area and make home visits again!

Therapy has also bought 200 new crutches for patients, after 6 months of using home-made crutches out of bits and bobs around the hospital!

We are so happy to welcome our new pharmacist Bonga Memele from Kwazulu-natal. Since January, the Pharmacy has been an area of chaos without a pharmacist, and the staff have certainly had their work cut out! Although they have done an undeniably great job, it is a relief to have a permanent and qualified pharmacist to offer her skills to the hospital! :)
