Hi i want to inquire if a father is allowed with the mother when they give birth?
A very heartfelt Thank You to the kind, caring nurses and doctors who cared for my sister for two weeks. They really went the extra mile to make sure that we understood her condition and were very professional when explaining the treatment they were giving her. They were amazing!!! Keep up the incredible standards – what a GREAT team working at Cecilia Makhiwane – they truly care about their patients! Thank You! Mphumzi Dweba.
