It helped her gain the confidence and ability to play and live more comfortably – something all children should have.

It is essential for your body to build strength progressively and allow sufficient recovery for best performance and injury prevention.

Not sure where to start if you're concerned about your child's development?

Children may need different types of support at different stages of development. Hear directly from occupational, speech and play therapists as they explain their roles and how they may support children in different ways.

If you have any concerns about your child’s development, a GP or paediatrician can help assess your child and guide the most appropriate support pathway.

- Chest pressure, tightness or burning

- Nausea or sweating
- Shortness of breath.

Many people dismiss these symptoms as indigestion or stress and delay seeking care. If symptoms are new, persistent or concerning, prompt medical assessment can make a critical difference.Don't delay care.

❤️ A heartfelt milestone in advancing cardiac care

We are proud to share that Life Kingsbury Hospital has successfully performed its first Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedures.

TAVI is an established, minimally invasive treatment option for appropriately selected patients with severe aortic stenosis, a condition in which the heart's aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow and potentially causing symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort and reduced exercise tolerance.

The introduction of this service expands access to advanced cardiac care closer to home for patients in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs and surrounding communities. This achievement reflects the expertise and collaboration of resident cardiologists Dr Chevaan Hendrickse and Dr Ebrahim Banderker, together with a dedicated multidisciplinary team of surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and radiographers.

We thank all the healthcare professionals whose skill, teamwork and commitment to patient-centred care made this milestone possible.
