“Welcoming new life at Christmas is a profound blessing, a reminder of hope and renewal during this season of joy. We extend heartfelt congratulations to the families of these precious little ones.
This miracle would not be possible without the dedication of healthcare workers who, even on Christmas Day, serve tirelessly, often away from their own loved ones to care for others,” said Mireille Wenger, Western Cape Minister of Health and Wellness.
The Mossel Bay Provincial Hospital was the only hospital in Mossel Bay to deliver Christmas babies, as no babies were delivered at the Life Bay View Hospital this year.
