Newborn babies in hospital cribs.
A total of 184 new babies were born on Christmas Day between midnight and noon in Gauteng’s public hospitals. Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko has congratulated the mothers of the newborns.
She also reopened the newly-renovated female medical ward at Tembisa Hospital, east of Joburg.
Nkomo-Ralehoko says the ward includes improved oxygen and suction points, better ventilation, and an upgraded nurse call system.
“But the second thing that we are doing in the educational programme that we don’t want to forget … they must not lose their birth certificates because that’s the road to wherever the area they want to go. The second issue is to make sure that they immunise their children, but sometimes parents do forget,” she says.
She has congratulated their mothers.
