 The completion of a dedicated Newborn and Children’s Operating Theatre, is anticipated this April 2018. Multi-millions have been raised to refurbish this unit and to furnish it with essential equipment. This project would not have been possible without the initial generous capital donation from Choice Diamonds.

The Carte Blanche Making A Difference Trust would like to thank our sponsors who have so generously donated funds towards this worthy cause.
