Kelebogile Constance Kanatu from Joe Morolong Hospital in Vryburg scoops the top prize and takes home R15 000…
PRETORIA – Constance Kanatu, a Professional Nurse specialising in Ophthalmology at Joe Morolong Hospital in Vryburg, in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District in North West, was announced as the Most Caring Nurse for 2024 in the country at the DENOSA Gala Dinner that was held at Sheraton Hotel in Pretoria last night.
She was awarded with the Marilyn Lahana Caring National Award, named after Marilyn Lahana, a Johannesburg nurse from Johannesburg who died after contracting Ebola virus after she cared for the patient selflessly.
DENOSA administers the awarding of the Marilyn Lahana Caring Award to any deserving nurse, voted for by fellow nurses in the workplace, who has shown outstanding commitment and selfless dedication to patient care.
Kanatu went home with a trophy, a certificate, and a R15 000 prize money.
As an Ophthalmic Nurse working without any doctor who is stationed at the facility, she is constantly faced with the challenge of referring all her patients who need higher care for their eye problems to other facilities.
Taking the second place as the 1st runner-up at the Awards was Majikela Dlangamandla from the Western Cape, who took home a trophy, a certificate, and R7500 in prize money.
Coming in third position as a 2nd runner-up was Mampe Konyama from Free State, who took home a trophy, a certificate, and a R5000 prize money.
DENOSA congratulates and is proud of all the winners. Their hardwork is promoting the nursing profession in the eyes of the public.
End.
