Paediatric oncology unit receives much-needed equipment
9 August 2006
News
Saab Grintek recently donated a Propaq ECG Monitor to Kalafong Hospital's paediatric oncology unit. The equipment will be used to monitor young patients' vital signs and provide essential data that will assist in faster diagnosis and treatment options.
Since most of the patients cannot afford medical aid they rely heavily on the already stretched hospital resources. This has led to the need for fundraising activities and Saab Grintek has played an active role in supporting various initiatives aimed at improving the unit's provision of therapy options.
The Kalafong Hospital's paediatric oncology unit cares for children of all ages up to the age of 17 years. The unit has gained an impressive reputation in paediatric oncology and its patients come from all over South Africa and neighbouring countries.
