In line with its vision to give every child a chance to live and thrive, NMCH treats public patients in need of critical care and appropriately referred to the hospital, regardless of their socio-economic standing.
Founded by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and established and built by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust (Trust), NMCH operates as an independent non-profit organisation.
