Ekurhuleni’s Pholosong Hospital has launched an ‘I serve with a smile’ campaign to ensure that its employees become champions of good service.

“The campaign is more than just offering a smile, we are asking every staff member to go back to basics and show love, dignity, respect and humility to patients and their colleagues,” said acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ashley Mthunzi.

The hospital launched the campaign on 1 April 2019, when it recruited 64 senior managers and other employees, across all service areas, as its champions.
