The Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital Trust have partnered with Mediclinic South Africa to fund a series of “Saturday Surgeries”.

The Hospital has a high volume of non-emergency surgery case patients who have prolonged waiting periods that may not be life-saving but life-changing.

The Manager of the Trust, Philippa Douglas said the initiative will commence on 1 September 2012 and end on 24 November 2012.

She said it will provide an extra day of surgery on Saturdays to lessen the Hospitals long waiting list for non-emergency general, ENT and plastic paediatric surgical procedures.
