Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital hospital is celebrating 80 years of service. This very key government hospital is the only mother-and-child hospital in South Africa.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Rahima Moosa Hospital made headlines for the wrong reasons but has now moved on from there, giving great service to the local and international community regarding births and kids.<\/p>\n

Between 14000 and 17000 babies are born here per annum. As a teaching hospital, thousands of healthcare professionals have been trained in its wards over the many decades that this hospital has served our community.<\/p>\n

Among other upgrades, the 80-year-old hospital\u2019s ward now boasts new triage beds, chairs and other much-needed equipment.<\/p>\n

A report released by the Office of the Health Ombudsman pointed out that since its construction in 1943, no substantial upgrades have been made to its infrastructure. A point the hospital\u2019s CEO, Dr Arthur Manning, also addressed in his opening on the day. He attributed the hospital\u2019s difficulty in giving patients the quality care they needed to the infrastructural challenges. \u201cAfter the report by the ombudsman we called for assistance for some the projects that needed to be done,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Dr Manning said donors who made this upgrade possibly took wards that looked downtrodden and neglected and made it a place of beauty for hospital staff to respect and show dignity to their patients.<\/p>\n

Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital is a maternity hospital in Coronationville, Johannesburg, South Africa. Before 2008, it was known as the Coronation Hospital.<\/p>\n
