The tarmac at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town vibrated with a joyous, triumphant celebration of life on Thursday, as the beloved institution commemorated its 70th anniversary with a stunning public gathering.
At the start of the day, the entryways were filled with the beautiful faces of children, parents, retired staff, and community members who gathered to honour a facility that has been a cornerstone of South African paediatric healthcare since 1956.
To 70 Years of care and community.
