Ermelo Hospital staff bring fresh care to patients on Mandela Day
ERMELO – The staff of Ermelo Provincial Hospital's Outpatient Department (OPD) celebrated Mandela Day on July 18 by sharing kindness and nourishment.
Patients who were waiting in line were pleasantly surprised to receive packets of fresh fruit, a gesture that brought smiles and comfort to their day.
Mandela Day, observed annually on Madiba's birthday, encourages individuals and communities to dedicate 67 minutes to community service in honour of his 67 years of leadership and activism.
The Ermelo Hospital OPD team embraced this spirit wholeheartedly, choosing a simple yet impactful way to give back to those in need.
The initiative was met with gratitude from patients, many of whom expressed their appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.
