A milestone for emergency care at Groote Schuur Hospital!

On 6 October 2026, we proudly celebrated the official launch of Groote Schuur Hospital’s new Emergency Centre, a purpose-built facility providing a modern space for emergency and trauma care, where clinical teams can respond to patients when every second counts.

Groote Schuur Hospital Trust is deeply grateful to the donors who supported our critical equipment campaign. Your generosity has helped equip this new facility with essential tools that enable healthcare teams to diagnose, monitor and treat critically ill and injured patients.

Thank you for believing in this project, in our hospital, and in the people we serve. Behind every contribution is a patient whose care you have helped strengthen.

Together, we are making better care possible.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa!

In celebration of International Literacy Day, we are delighted to recognise a wonderful donation from Parklands College. 📚

Approximately 300 books were generously donated to the Groote Schuur Hospital School, helping to inspire learning, imagination and joy for children continuing their education while receiving care at Groote Schuur Hospital.

Pictured at the handover are Rosetta Cupido, Principal of the Groote Schuur Hospital School, and Dr Mareli Venter, a friend of Parklands College.

A heartfelt thank you to Parklands College for the opportunity for learners to discover the joy of reading.

A meaningful partnership bringing comfort and dignity to patients at Groote Schuur Hospital.

We are grateful to AirFrance-KLM for donating complimentary vanity kits filled with toiletries, socks and other useful essentials for our patients.

For patients who arrive at the hospital with very few personal belongings, these everyday items can provide much-needed comfort and care during their stay.

A special thank you to Takealot Fulfilment Solutions (TFS) for assisting with the logistics and ensuring that the donation reached the hospital.

This is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when organisations work together to support patients and strengthen public healthcare.
