Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa was opened in 1956 through public subscription as a memorial to soldiers lost in the Second World War. It is the only dedicated children's hospital in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only a few dedicated children's hospitals in the Southern hemisphere.
Red Cross Children's (as it is sometimes called) has academic links to the University of Cape Town's School of Child and Adolescent Health, the University of the Western Cape Dental School and the University of Stellenbosch; it is regarded as South Africa's leading centre for post-graduate specialist paediatric medical and surgical training.
