I teach Ballet at a Kindergarten in Lavington and last year we had a production of the nut cracker and the kids were super excited.

Unfortunately, a few minutes into the Ballet, one of the Kids Pipper, felt drowsy and passed out back stage. I was so worried.

The headmistress however was very calm and we drove Pipper to the Gertrudes Childrens Clinic at Lavington. All the while I was very fidgety.

The service we received can only be termed as excellent. One of the nurses reassured as and even organised for a hot cup of tea while the doctor ( who came in amazingly fast) attended to Pipper.

Before long, we could hear Pipper chuckling and when she came out she had a pink hippo doll under her arm. All well now she was discharged. No long queues, no waiting for doctors from other hospitals, no nasty hospital experience that kids dread.

In all the rush we had forgotten to bring some money along and amazingly enough, the hospital made arrangements so we could settle the bill later.

If it wasnt for these guys I dont think I would still have a job.... Ohh and Pipper made it in time for the final act and insisted on doing it :)

One does not expect to associate illness with good childhood memories, but as a child, a huge part of my life was actually spent at this hospital, the Susan ward in particular and this facility made the pains of being ill the last thing on my mind.

A broken arm here, a bleeding nose there. I used to suffer from chronic bronchitis and asthma and so at least every 2 weeks I had to ' drop by'.

The staff were always very helpful and the care I received was priceless. Doctors always on call, special arrangement were always made so that my worried mother could be by my side.

The hospital was always spotlessly clean and never had that sickly 'hospital smell' that most facilities have hanging around. The play ground and toys made all of us sick children forget our illnesses and just be kids.

Fast forward to last year and my niece was suddenly taken ill at an ungodly hour. I was glad to know there was a Gertrude's clinic close to where I live and the standards were top notch just like the headquarters.

I would like to say a big 'asante sana' to the hospital, the staff and everyone in general on behalf of both myself and my niece. If the hospital needs volunteers or donations (not that I have that much to give) I would be more than glad to chip in.

If only it admitted adults too :)
