The tour started in the reception area where the learners were met by nursing manager Nashira Cevikmen and Medirest Rusty the Rhino who welcomed everyone.\
Unit manager Sr Annelie Bates then took the reins and showed the learners the casualty unit and explained what goes on in there after handing out surgical masks and theatre caps for the children to wear.
Next, the group visited the pharmacy and Dr Lourens Rothmann, who gave a short explanation about what the pharmacy is and its function within the hospital, before handing out syringes with condensed milk as a treat.
