The first week of December 2015 sees a number of visitors staying at and enjoying the facilities at the Donald Woods Centre at Hobeni.<\/p>\n

The first is the UK-based maternal health clinician, Dr Kim Turner who is heading up a group of Obstetrics and Gynaecology doctors who will be based at the Donald Woods Centre while working with the Maternal Health Department at Madwaleni Hospital as part of a plan for DWF to increase support for maternal and child health in the area.<\/p>\n

Dr Turner is the daughter of Rick Turner, the academic and anti-apartheid activist who was assassinated in front of her in January 1978 by the Security Police.<\/p>\n

Dr Turner\u2019s mother, Barbara Follett, is a former UK Government Minister and is now a member of DWF\u2019s UK Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

The second visitor is a specialist in rehabilitation and rural development, Dr Gubela Mji who heads up the Centre for Rehabilitation Studies in the Medicine and Health Science Faculty at Stellenbosch University.<\/p>\n

Dr Mji will be overseeing a group of postgraduate students conducting research in local clinics around the Hobeni area.<\/p>\n

The DWF would like to welcome Dr Turner and Dr Mji. We wish you a pleasant stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
