“There is a reason you are doing what you are doing. There is nothing like being there when a baby is born, and you are part of that experience, and you are there when you close the eyes of a dying patient. You mean so much to us, to your community, and society. You are our future. We thank you for your service, certainly to the nursing profession but also to South Africa.”
Life Robinson Private Hospital is privileged to employ over 126 permanent and contract nurses. These nurses not only serve as the backbone of patient-centered care but also champion advancements in healthcare services and systems through their leadership and advocacy.
