Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Bursary South Africa 2024 – 2025

ABOUT THE BURSAR

In 1995, Nelson Mandela founded the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund to help pay for the treatment of children in South Africa. Over a decade later (in 2009), the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust (NMCHT) is founded, with the aim of building a top-notch care facility for children. In 2014, the construction of the hospital began and 2016 marks the year of the opening of the hospital.

The NMCH, with funding from the National Skills Fund (NSF), has implemented the bursary programme as a way to train over 300 specialist paediatric nurses.
 

ABOUT THE BURSARY
