His words are a powerful reminder of the difference compassion, professionalism, and teamwork can make in a patient’s life.

In honour of Nelson Mandela Day, staff from the Occupational Therapy and Neurology departments at Universitas Academic Hospital rolled up their sleeves and took part in a garden cleaning campaign.

As part of their 67 Minutes for Mandela, they dedicated their time and energy to beautifying the hospital grounds — making a difference where it matters most.

In the spirit of Nelson Mandela Day, our HR officials opened their hearts — and their wallets— by giving back to the community in a meaningful way.

They generously purchased and delivered sanitary pads to the lodger mothers at Universitas Academic Hospital, bringing comfort and dignity to those in need.

This act of kindness reflects our ongoing commitment to making a difference, one small gesture at a time.

In honour of International Nelson Mandela Day on 18 July, we take this opportunity to reflect on the legacy of our beloved former President, Tata Madiba.

This day serves as a global call to action for individuals to recognise their ability to have a positive impact in their communities.

Let us be reminded of his powerful words:

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Let us all strive to live the values he stood for — compassion, dignity, service, and justice — not only on this day, but every day.
