A look at six accredited South African private hospitals and how they managed to operate during COVID.

The COVID pandemic has taught the world many lessons. It shifted paradigms that global public health has taken for granted. The question that remains foremost in the minds of many is this: can health systems be made robust so that when the next pandemic or other disaster hits, we will be ready?

The National Covid-19 Doctors on Call Program has been in operation since 27^th March 2020 and we have currently raised sufficient funding to run the program until the 30^th June 2020.

Based on the success of the program, the expected spread of the Coronavirus and our assessment of the needs of the vulnerable communities we have been supporting, we believe there is significant value in continuing the operation of the helpline until December 2020.
