Edge Day Hospital: The Documentary Teaser

New Edge Day Hospital opens in Nelson Mandela Bay The Eastern Cape provincial MEC for Health, assisted by the executive mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay, donned medical scrubs, picked up a scalpel and cut a red ribbon to officially open the new Edge Day Hospital in Gqeberha on Monday August 9 2021. The state-of-the-art medical facility is an initiative driven by Dr Cameron McIntosh, a Nelson Mandela Bay-based otolaryngology and facial plastic surgeon who specialises in rhinoplasty, or nose surgery. The Edge Day Hospital is perched on the edge of the Baakens Valley and combines cutting edge and affordable care with spectacular views over Settlers Park. It has 15 beds and two operating theatres, which consist of a laminar flow theatre and a digital theatre. These have been laid out in a design that aims to minimise infection and increase patient safety. The founding president of the Society of Rhinoplasty Surgeons of South Africa (SORSSA), Dr McIntosh prioritises education and research in the field of rhinoplasty. Hence the facility also includes specialised audiovisual equipment that will be used to train medical professionals in this area. At the opening, he welcomed directors, shareholders, staff and guests who included Health MEC Nomakhosazana Meth and Bay mayor Nqaba Banga. “There have been many times over the past seven years that I have wanted to give up,” said Dr McIntosh, but now the dream has become a reality to shine as a beacon of hope for the city. The father of three young children – who gave warm family support at the opening – said his wife had been his rock over the “crazy few years and months” that it took to build a hospital over a global pandemic. Dr McIntosh is the only doctor to have his rooms at the Edge. However, an extensive range of Gqeberha medical specialists who are directors and shareholders will use the hospital facilities for their own patients as and when needed. The Edge directors are Dr McIntosh, orthopedic surgeon Dr Marzanne Swart, gynaecologists Dr Deshni Chetty, Dr Natasha Andrews and Dr Clayton Grieve, and anaesthetist Dr Ernest Buitendag. Dentists Dr Divan Castelyn and Dr Suvir Chetty, specialist surgeons Dr Jacques September and Dr Nico van Niekerk, and plastic surgeon Dr Christiaan Joubert are shareholders. The hospital is already providing employment in a region suffering from a high level of unemployment. Imbono Architects designed the Edge, which was built by Renaissance Construction. “We had 938 applicants for 26 positions and we've created 26 brand new jobs in the city,” said Dr McIntosh, noting that these were over and above those involved in the construction phase. Of the staff opening function held in July, he said “it was quite an emotional day for me because we had people speaking about the fact that they've never had a job in their life.” “I hope that this inspires the people of Nelson Mandela Bay to carry out the dreams they may have for their lives” said Dr McIntosh, outlining how nearly all the professionals involved in the project were sourced from Port Elizabeth. “Sometimes in our city we don't back ourselves enough but I really want this to be a beacon of hope in this dark Covid world we are in. “We hope that this is the start of a long and very fruitful relationship as we expand this group into more facilities.” The Edge management also will arrange surgical safaris to Eastern Cape luxury game reserves such as Entle Private Reserve As Dr McIntosh noted at the opening, the cost of a medical safari for a patient from, for example, the US, would be less than the cost of the procedure alone in their home country. An in-house medical spa is a further bonus, offering facials, peels, fillers, botox and more on its treatment menu. In addition to the permanent jobs created at the hospital, there also are opportunities for artists and crafters. All the artwork in the hospital is for sale. There is also a treat in store for younger patients, as each child who has a procedure will receive his or her own soft toy, Edgy the hedgehog, made by marginalised or previously disadvantaged women crafters in Gqeberha. • Media release prepared by Gillian McAinsh on behalf of LX Events and Be Noticed.
