The Roy McAlpine Charitable Foundation awarded the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital a much-needed boost with a R70 million donation. In collaboration with WITS University, a new wing will be added to the Bara Burns Unit as part of this massive monetary influx.
Professor Martin Smith, Academic Head of the Department of Surgery, Wits University spoke to Radio Islam International; he says “unfortunately, burns are a prevalent complication of our trauma scourge. The Burns Unit is a one-of-a-kind institution that treats badly burned patients as a referral centre”.
