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.

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.

Contact your GP, who can refer you to a specialist if pain and injuries persist. Find one near you: https://www.lifehealthcare.co.za/our-doctors/

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.

Life Wilgers Hospital again achieved diamond status at the World Stroke Organisation (WSO) Angels Awards for quarter one 2026. This is the highest honour a stroke-ready Hospital can receive.

The WSO Angels Awards aim to:
- Advance global standards in stroke care.
- Celebrate excellence in stroke treatment practices.
- Share knowledge and strategies for delivering exceptional stroke care.
This recognition highlights Life Healthcare’s continuous efforts to improving stroke care outcomes for our patients.
Life Wilgers Hospital is committed to continuously improve on the quality of stroke care and outcomes for our patients. Strokes strike F.A.S.T. Most strokes are treatable, but seconds count.

Do the F.A.S.T. test:
Face: Ask the patient to smile. Is one side of the face drooping?
Arm: Ask the patient to lift their arms. Is one arm weaker than the other?
Speech: Ask the patient to read a sentence out loud. Is their speech slurred?
Time: If the patient has even one symptom, it could be an indicator of a stroke. Get to a hospital F.A.S.T. Every second counts.

Life Wilgers Hospital can assist in the event of a stroke. Call 012 807 8100 or visit bit.ly/4g56qJ0 for more information on how to access our services.
