BLISTERS FOR BABIES
TWO Cape Town friends will embark on a 270km journey from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain to raise R1.2million for life-saving pediatric medical equipment at Tygerberg Hospital.
Louise Theron, CEO of Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust and entrepreneur Leone Malan will start their two week journey on May 20 in aid of Blisters for Babies, an initiative which is aimed at addressing the dire need for highly-specialised equipment used in the neonatal and pediatric wards.
Tygerberg Hospital treats the most babies weighing less than 1500 grams across South Africa. As the largest pediatric unit in the Western Cape, with 210 pediatric beds and 90 neonatal beds, it treats about half of the 2.4 million children living in the province who require specialist medical care.
