A jubilant crowd of nurses and staff surrounded a white cake at Life St Dominic’s Hospital in Southernwood on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the institution’s 75th birthday. The hospital, which opened as the Mater-Dei maternity hospital on April 26 1948, has been upgraded, but the statue of Mother Mary still welcomes patients at the now mechanical sliding doors.
