Hot Cares and the Dis-Chem Foundation assists the Empilweni Services and Research Unit

Loading player...
The Empilweni Services and Research Unit (ESRU), located at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, comprises a research clinic and a clinic offering essential services. With approximately 30 research staff, including academic, administrative, and technical personnel, ESRU has been actively engaged in research endeavors for the past 13 years, resulting in the publication of over 140 papers. While initially focused on HIV, ESRU has expanded its scope to include research in areas such as Tuberculosis, reflecting its growing expertise and interest.
In addition to its research efforts, Empilweni Services and Research Unit also dedicates attention to cancer patients and palliative care. Many of the patients served by ESRU are in dire circumstances and lack adequate support and resources.

This is how Hot Cares and the Dis-Chem Foundation is extending assistance to address these pressing needs.
