🌿 BUSH TALK – WORLD PREMATURITY DAY 2026 💜“Give preterm babies a strong start for a brighter future.”
Join us for our second Bush Talk in support of World Prematurity Day 2026.
This special Bush Talk will support mothers and premature babies at the Windhoek Central Hospital Neonatal ICU.
We’ll combine a moderate morning walk in nature with a relaxed bush talk, coffee, biscuits and a Q&A with our special guest speaker, Dr Beatrix Callard.
Dr Callard will share her knowledge and insights about premature babies and the challenges faced by their families.
