“Dr Jennings, the Clinical Lead in Trauma Surgery at Netcare Milpark Hospital, was the embodiment of selfless, caring and committed service, dedicating her life as a surgeon to her patients in the public and private sector,” said Dr Richard Friedland, chief executive officer of Netcare.
“We give thanks for Dr Jennings’ extraordinary life and career, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to her children, partner and family, and all who loved her.
“She loved her work and what she described as her privileged life, often praising her colleagues, patients, friends and loved ones for making her journey an extraordinary one.”
