DR HARRY SURTIE HOSPITAL
BREASTMILK BANK

Calling all breastfeeding moms!
The NICU at Dr Harry Surtie Hospital is in urgent need of donated breastmilk to help care for our most vulnerable little patients.
Premature babies often rely on donated breastmilk for the best possible start in life. Your extra breastmilk can truly make a life-saving difference 🩷

If you are:
• Currently breastfeeding
• Not on any medications
• HIV, TB and Syphilis negative
• Not smoking, using alcohol or drugs

We would love to hear from you!

All potential donors are carefully screened (HIV and Syphilis test are done) and donated breastmilk are handled according to strict safety guidelines.

Please contact Shantall Olyn (083 596 9820) if you would like to donate.

Today, on World Obesity Day, we came together to promote the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and preventing lifestyle-related diseases. We spoke about building sustainable, healthy habits, both at home and in the workplace, and encouraged one another to prioritise our own wellbeing as well. We also addressed the importance of stopping weight stigma and treating patients living with obesity with empathy, and sensitivity. We offered voluntary BMI screenings to raise awareness and to empower them take charge of their health. We ended the session with a walk around the Hospital.

Prematurity, or preterm birth, is defined as a baby born alive before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Full-term pregnancy is typically 40 weeks. The earlier in the pregnancy a baby is born, the more serious the potential health risks and the more likely they are to require specialized medical care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
