{{Project
|Description=Rahima Moosa Mother & Child Hospital is the only mother & child hospital in South Africa, delivering over 14000 babies annually.  The hospital is old & run down, & their community needs far outweigh their current capacity.  With an aging building and equipment and limited ICU space, the hospital has many challenges. Our goal is to work with hospital management to help them provide excellence of care through the provision of better facilities, psycho-social support & state of the art equipment.

Rahima Moosa Mother & Child hospital is a 75 year old hospital with an ailing infrastructure.  Life saving machinery is old & worn needing replacement & repair.  The hospital is an essential facility catering for the poorest communities within South Africa & often finds it's 320 bed facility overcrowded with manpower & facilities stretched beyond capacity.  Increased pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic & other communicable diseases have highlighted the desperate need for modernisation & support.
