The Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust has received a significant donation of R1 105 000 from the South African Muslim Charitable Trust (SAMCT), a contribution set to bolster healthcare services for the hospital’s most vulnerable patients. The funding is earmarked for three critical projects aimed at enhancing paediatric and neonatal support at Tygerberg Hospital, which manages the largest baby unit in the Western Cape and cares for the highest number of premature infants in South Africa.
SAMCT representative Faried Boltman highlighted the importance of the donation, noting that specialised equipment is essential for the effective monitoring and care of premature and critically ill newborns."Saving the lives of babies in hospitals is a critical global health imperative that creates the foundation for societal well-being," Boltman said.
The donation has enabled the procurement of several life-saving tools.
"Ensuring optimal care for vulnerable infants drastically reduces neonatal mortality, prevents long-term developmental complications, and supports fragile families during their most critical moments."
