We went to see our friend Andile at Baragwanath hospital. She has now been there for 2 weeks and still no diagnosis. She continues to grow weaker and her condition has only become more severe.
Please continue to pray for her to be comforted by the Lord, for the doctors to have wisdom in diagnosing her and that she would get better soon.
This is only one of the buildings at the hospital. I have actually never been inside this building as usually when I go to visit it is in individual wards.
People say you go to Bara to die...
Some facts about the hospital:
Built by the British government during World War II to care for military personnel.
2,964 beds. 429 buildings. Largest hospital in the world.
