A large contrast this morning as delegates will visit the area of Soweto. As far as the eye can see there are make-shift houses and shanties. Once the home of Nelson Mandela, health care professionals struggle to meet the needs of this very poor community. The delegation will visit the Home for Children with Aids. In South Africa 1 in 10 children die from AIDS before the age of five.
Delegates are welcome to bring supplies and donations to the home.
After lunch, we will travel to the southern suburb of Soweto and the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, the largest hospital on the African continent. Dr Inge Weber will take the group on a tour. Round table discussions to discuss health conditions, monitor at risk populations, and future developments of the hospital will follow. This evening enjoy dinner with South African counterparts you have met. The Carnivore Restaurant is situated in a typical African setting.
