Hospital Heroes campaign aims to keep our front-line workers energised

Published on

Hospital Heroes is a movement founded by three individuals, who saw the need to recognise and reward the Herculean efforts made by the frontline healthcare and medical staff at hospitals all around the country in the face of COVID-19. 

 Hospital Heroes aims to raise funds to be able to buy refreshments to distribute to medical staff at hospitals, initially in the greater Cape metropole, then nationally, in order to lift the spirits of doctors, nurses and support staff as they toil through the long and lonely hours of caring for those compromised by COVID-19. 

 To realise their efforts, the trio has partnered with Gift of the Givers to handle donations and logistics in purchasing the goodies and distributing them. 

 Khilona Radia, Nisaar Pangarker, and Dr Zameer Brey are behind the movement.
