Baby Born in an NPH Vehicle!

Many of us can tell an anecdote or two that involves a company car, however, not many can boast a birth of a baby that took place right there, on the back seat of your dutifully driven vehicle that displays your company logo on it.

Early Friday morning last week, one of our colleagues received a frantic call from her sister whose labour had started. Without thinking, Renate jumped into her car and rushed to take her sister to Windhoek Central Hospital.

Little Portia

The traffic was as usual before 8 am, with everyone trying to get to work, and so somewhere between John Meinert Street and an intersection of Davey Street and Johan Albrecht, the baby was born at the back seat of the NPH 1999 Toyota Corolla.

The staff of Windhoek Central Hospital were quick to react when they saw the Toyota pulling into the ambulance parking spot outside Emergencies and the umbilical cord was swiftly cut still in the car. The mother and the baby were then taken to the maternity ward where they were properly looked after. 

NPH is proud to announce that the newborn is a girl. The mother and the baby are doing well, although the little one is still in the incubator, as it was born prematurely. We wish them all the happiness and can only hope that the little girl will be named Natalie Portia Helena to signify NPH's involvement in the birth.

Now that is a story to tell your friends!

John has also met with the school's devoted staff members with whom he chatted about NPH educational materials for Junior Primary.

The Garde 1 learners from Mrs Karingombe's class were very happy and keen to pose for photos.
