Biography 📅 31 August 1988 📍 South Africa

Mandela was transferred to Constantiaberg MediClinic after receiving treatment at Tygerberg Hospital. He remained under prison guard while recovering from tuberculosis. His medical care therefore took place inside a wider political arrangement: the government controlled his location and access even as his health became a public concern.
