Good news from Ithemba Ward
Today one of our little patients was discharged by the doctors! After one year and four months spending in the hospital not only at the Ithemba Ward but also in ICU, having surgeries and various infections, she can now finally go back home to her family and her twin sister who she has not seen since her birth. We all are really happy for her and wish her and her family only the best for the future.
