Centre for Children with Special Needs

Bertha Gxowa Hospital started the Centre for Children with Special Needs to deal with challenges that faced children with special needs, their mothers and care givers who were spending more than a day when visiting the hospital for services. Children with special needs were seen on one-on-one basis in the past which resulted in delays. Appointments were booked on the same day by different parents and caregivers. This became overwhelming with the high referral rate. Waiting periods grew longer and patients were seen less frequently. As a result, the Cerebral Palsy Clinic also known as the Centre for Children with Special Needs was established. Tags:
