HEARTBEAT: CHRIS HANI BARAGWANATH ACADEMIC HOSPITAL, JOHANNESBURG, GAUTENG

With the global pandemic hitting South Africa hard, local government hospital Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic expanded its bed capacity with the addition of a new 500-bed Covid-19 section. Divided into twenty Clusters, each Cluster consists of 25 beds, with Hutz Hospi-Tec supplying HU10-01 Bedhead Service Systems and HUGO-LED medical examination lights for the project.
