Carte Blanche visits the specialised teams that are working around the clock on the 19th project of the Carte Blanche Making a Difference Trust – a state-of-the-art two-bed cardiothoracic neonatal and paediatric intensive care unit for children with congenital heart, chest or lung conditions in Cape Town’s Tygerberg Hospital. More than 7000 babies are born here every year and a fifth will need surgical procedures. We thank the project partners and sponsors whose generosity and vision sustain the work.
