Baragwanath Leads Gauteng’s Surgical Marathon | Johannesburg News
Description
Baragwanath Hospital is dominating Gauteng’s Mandela Month Surgical Marathon, completing 156 procedures—far ahead of Kalafong (80) and Dr George Mukhari (79)—as public hospitals across the province hit 687 surgeries, halfway to their 1,326 target. Launched July 11 and ending July 31, the initiative accelerates care and optimizes operating rooms, delivering life-changing results: restored sight, mobility, and pain relief for patients who’ve waited years. Ophthalmology leads with 273 surgeries, while obstetrics and gynaecology also surge ahead—surpassing last year’s total. This isn’t just medical progress; it’s a powerful tribute to Mandela’s legacy, powered by the relentless dedication of frontline healthcare workers.
