Red Cross Children’s Hospital welcomes R250k donation for cancer unit

The fight against child cancer received a massive cash boost this week when just over a quarter of a million rand was handed over to the Children’s Hospital Trust for the Upgrade of the Oncology Unit at Red Cross Children’s Hospital.

Built in Cape Town in 1956, the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital is the first stand-alone tertiary hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa dedicated entirely to child healthcare.

“We invited our customers to help us with our fundraising drive for Red Cross over the last two months and I am blown away by the support we received.
