Nurse brings joy to children at Livingstone HospitalLast month, a video of a nurse at Livingstone Hospital in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape went viral on social media – but not for the reasons one might expect.
The video shows Benjamin Ngqaza (56) in the middle of a hospital ward, dancing and leading nursery rhymes, much to the delight of the young children occupying the beds in the ward.
He believes that his approach helps distract his young patients from the pain and suffering that brings them to the hospital.
“What warms my heart is the positive reaction from my patients,” Ngqaza says.
He enjoys singing, making jokes, dancing with his unique moves, and most importantly, playing with the children who are admitted.
