Deciding whether to get glasses or contact lenses? 👓

Both glasses and contact lenses are great options for correcting vision, but each comes with its own benefits and disadvantages. That is why we want to empower you to make an informed decision.

So, whether you opt for either or both (to use at different times), the most important thing is to get the correct eye care for your individual needs.

Which one do you prefer? Let us know in the comments.

Often referred to as “liquid gold”, breast milk is one of the most valuable substances to humankind.

While the majority of it works to keep babies full and hydrated, it also contains crucial nutrients to help babies grow and thrive and is a “living” fluid, constantly adapting to meet your baby’s changing needs, even within a single feed.

If you need breastfeeding assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Welwitschia Hospital. You can book a breastfeeding consultation at our Well-Baby & Mother Immunisation Clinic.
