Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital is a maternity hospital in Coronationville, Johannesburg, South Africa. Prior to 2008, it was known as the Coronation Hospital.
The hospital was opened in October 1944 in the suburb of Coronationville.[1] It was a hospital established for people classified as Coloured and Indian.[1] It would serve those local communities of Newclare, Noordgesig and Coronationville.[1] Until 1955, it would also take black patients from Primville, Orlando and Sophiatown.[1]
In 1995, all obstetrics and gynaecology departments were moved from the J.G. Strijdom Hospital to this hospital.[1] On 29 September 2008, Coronation Hospital was renamed the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital by the Gauteng Provincial Minister of Health, Brian Hlongwa.[2] Rahima Moosa was an anti-apartheid activist and took part in the 1956 Women's March, protesting passes for non-white women.[2]
