Media Alert: Medscheme Group Delivers R100 000 Neonatal Incubator to New Somerset Hospital

23 June 2011

New Somerset Hospital's Neonatal Unit will receive a much needed incubator from the Medscheme Group, worth nearly R100 000. The donation will benefit the hospital and, most importantly, the premature babies who need them.

These incubators will help to keep prematurely born babies alive by providing them with better temperature support, reducing the likelihood of infections, respiratory support, as well specialised feeding.

Members of the media are invited to attend the handover.

Venue: North Block Boardroom New Somerset Hospital
