In a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Nelson Mandela, Busamed Private Hospital Group committed to an ambitious initiative to offer 67 life-changing surgeries across its facilities.
This generous contribution was part of their celebrations for Mandela Month, which commemorates the remarkable 67 years of public service devoted by the iconic South African leader.
The initiative, which was conducted through the UniversalCare@Busamed programme, underscored the group's long-standing commitment to empowering communities to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
All procedures were provided free of charge to patients in desperate need of medical attention, particularly those who have been languishing on lengthy waiting lists at state hospitals or who had faced barriers in accessing essential surgical care.
'In the spirit of this important day, Busamed Private Hospital Group is proud to announce a group-wide campaign through our UniversalCare@Busamed programme, demonstrating our dedication to fulfilling our purpose,' stated a representative of the group.
This campaign is a tangible, compassionate act of service that looks to mirror Mandela's values of generosity, community support and leadership.

The surgeries were conducted by the exceptional teams at Busamed, including skilled surgeons, anaesthetists, nursing staff, and allied professionals.
The necessary medical consumables and pharmaceuticals for the procedures were sponsored by industry partners, demonstrating a united front of support for the noble cause.
'We are thankful to our partners for their invaluable contributions,' the statement read.
The initiative also presented a unique opportunity for Busamed employees to engage in community service.
Staff members were encouraged to volunteer in various roles, ranging from their professional capacities to supporting activities such as admissions, patient transport, catering, and housekeeping.
This collective effort not only enhanced patient care but also nurtured a sense of unity and collaboration.
The campaign reflected the spirit of Mandela Day, celebrated on July 18, which called upon individuals and organisations to dedicate 67 minutes of their time to making a positive change in their communities.
Through the initiative, Busamed Private Hospital Group not only aligned with Mandela's ethos of selflessness but also ensured that impactful healthcare was accessible to those in need, paving the way for healthier futures.
