100 Portable Desks Support Hospital Learners
Story 2
More than 100 portable study desks have been donated to paediatric wards across the province, helping young patients keep up with school during lengthy hospital stays.
The fold-out desks, which transform from a mobile trolley into a bedside workstation, are now being used at major hospitals including Steve Biko Academic, Chris Hani Baragwanath and Charlotte Maxeke.
The project was sparked when a paediatric doctor saw a child trying to complete homework while waiting at a rural clinic. That encounter led to a partnership with non-profit organisation MiDesk Global to create a practical learning solution for hospitalised children.
Healthcare workers say the portable desks are making it easier for teachers to continue lessons while patients undergo treatment.
