According to the radio station, it has been a gruelling year for healthcare workers and nowhere is this more evident than a first-hand account of the grit and compassion required to administer life-saving treatment.
"Long hours, extreme exposure to Covid-19, mental fatigue, the emotional burden of the pandemic and their first-hand accounts under severe limitations are just a few of the challenges facing theses everyday heroes," says Martin Bester, presenter of the weekly breakfast drive at
Jacaranda FM.
"These healthcare workers leave their families behind every day to take care of ours; they don't just deserve a thank you, they deserve a proper pamper," adds Bester.
Each nominated healthcare worker will receive a VIP night for two at the 5-star Maslow Time Square hotel — Zenith suite, dinner at Forti Grill and Bar, breakfast at Tatso, full body spa treatments and a VIP room drop, collectively valued at R6 000.
The first person to nominate Dr Loise Engelbrecht was Kurt Darren. He "felt so strongly about the care" as he could see his doctor prioritise his care, despite having her own challenges with a sick child.
"If you are a Covid-19 survivor,
