Blood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and related conditions affecting the blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system.

Symptoms and abnormal blood results can have many possible causes. A diagnosis cannot be made from symptoms or one blood test alone. Further investigations may be required when abnormalities are persistent, significant or unexplained.

Dr Farah Rahman provides specialist assessment, care planning and coordination for blood and bone-marrow disorders.

Children cannot always explain what feels wrong, which can make it difficult for parents to know when a medical assessment is needed.

Seek medical advice if your child has persistent fever, difficulty breathing, signs of dehydration, unusual drowsiness or symptoms that are worsening.

If you are concerned about your child’s health, trust your judgement and consult a healthcare professional.

Our paediatric team at Life Chatsmed Garden Hospital is growing this October.

After years of tests and doctor appointments, Birdie Rose finally received answers about her fragile skin condition.

At just seven years old, Birdie was diagnosed with progeria, a rare disease that causes premature ageing and affects the entire body. Finding the right diagnosis and treatment changed more than her healthcare journey.

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

Her foster mother, Leanne Rands, shares their journey to finding treatment and the care they received at Life The Crompton Hospital in Durban.

Haemophilia is usually an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly.

It may cause prolonged bleeding, easy bruising or bleeding into joints and muscles. As the severity of haemophilia varies, medical assessment helps guide appropriate treatment and follow-up.

Bleeding that will not stop requires urgent medical attention.

Preparing for a demanding fitness sports event like Hyrox requires a focus on training, prioritising sleep for recovery and maintaining a proper nutritional plan to perform at your best. Hyrox combines strength and endurance, but intensive repetitive movements can lead to injuries if muscles become overloaded too quickly. It is essential for your body to build strength progressively and allow sufficient recovery for best performance and injury prevention.

Swipe to learn about common Hyrox injuries, prevention strategies and recovery insights from Kyla Steenveld, physiotherapist at Life Sports Science Orthopaedic Surgical Day Centre.

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.

Download our infographic for a simple guide to three different therapies and how they may support your child’s development.
