15 May 2020—15 June 2020 Go Turquoise for the Elderly Campaign .

Go Turquoise for the Elderly Campaign has been recognised in the National list awareness days. Its purpose is to create

awareness about the elderly in our communities, especially those not accommodated by institutions for the elderly , thus

being more at risk.

As a token of our appreciation for the old and wise every Friday for four

weeks Niemeyer Memorial Hospital hosted a turquoise corner for the

elderly with fruit baskets to cheer up the elderly and promote their

health in our own small way.

15 June 2020 World Elderly Abuse Awareness Day.

With a growing population of elderly people and as longevity increases,

abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects

health and human rights and can cause death, so it is vital to raise aware-

ness of it an thus prevent it wherever possible. On the 15th of June 2020

we took on the streets to offer the elderly bran muffins and oranges with

sweet note of kindness to the elderly.

June 16 Youth Day Commemoration 2020

The theme for this year’s Youth Month is “Youth Power”

We deemed it essential to heed the call to honour and remember the Youth of 1976, however

there are many challenges that we now face as well as the youth of this Era. The message we

attempted to pass as Niemeyer Memorial Hospital to our community young and old is that the

power lies in everyone's hands to change the society. We encouraged everyone to make a per-

sonal pledge to help society shape its cause in a positive direction, we also gave out personal-

ized handcrafted bookmarkers to encourage a reading nation.

Niemeyer Memorial Hospital does not support the killing of

young Women and Children.

We pay tribute to all the women and children lost

to gender based violence

Rest in Power. You are not forgotten.

Since the start of level 3 of the National

Covid-19 lockdown, there has been an

increase in violent crime against women

and children.

South Africa has among the highest levels

of intimate partner violence in the world,

with 51% women experiencing violence in

a relationship.

More than 50% of women murdered in

2009 were killed by an intimate partner

The President of South Africa has declared

gender based violence an emergency.

For the sake of Women everywhere Don’t look

away

If you are able to help prevent another tragedy

Don’t look away

Break the silence

There is always

someone willing to

listen.

Not all men are the same
