The hospital urgently needed medical equipment to the value of R1.3 million. The equipment was needed for resuscitation of babies and children, monitoring and diagnostic equipment. Children with life threatening conditions are stabilised in the Emergency Centre first and then admitted in the paediatric unit for further evaluation and management. Without the equipment it is impossible to save lives.
The SAME Foundation supplied the Wesfleur Hospital in Atlantis with lifesaving equipment for their new emergency centre in 2013.
