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.

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.

Chronic medication and hospital admissions:

On admission to hospital, it is crucial to bring a copy of your most recent prescription as well as your own chronic medication. Having your medication and prescription at the hospital ensures that our medical staff and doctors know exactly what you are taking, in what dosages and what frequency to ensure continued therapy. This also enables our pharmacy staff to identify possible interactions and contra-indications. Prepacked medicine can make it difficult for our staff to identify your treatment correctly, due to the vast list of generics in the market. Therefore, bringing in the original packaging is suggested and preferred. Your health and safety are our top priority.

Not sure what to do with expired or unused medication? Ask your pharmacist.

Expired medications can lose their effectiveness and may even be harmful. Rather than keeping them at home, take a step to make life better for you and your loved ones by disposing of them properly.

At Life West Coast Private Hospital, we care about your health and safety. That’s why we encourage you to consult your pharmacist for advice on safe disposal. They will guide you on how to return your medications, ensuring they are disposed of responsibly.

Ask your pharmacist today.

10 September is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Sometimes, the signs are subtle.

If someone you know seems different, withdrawn, overwhelmed or not quite themselves, reach out. Ask. Listen. Be there.

And if you are struggling yourself, speak to your GP. Asking for help is a sign of strength – and the right support can make a difference. You don’t have to face it alone.

Your kidneys are vital organs that filter waste and excess fluid from your blood, helping remove waste products and maintain the body’s fluid and mineral balance.

Because kidney disease can develop without obvious symptoms, it’s important to look after your kidney health and have regular check-ups.

Know your kidneys. Know your health. Speak to your GP if you have any concerns or risk factors for kidney disease.

Your Health Matters Too

As women, we often put the needs of our families, friends and colleagues before our own. But you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Make your health a priority. Schedule that check-up, don’t ignore warning signs, stay active, eat well and take time to care for yourself.

Looking after your health isn’t selfish – it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and those who depend on you.

If it’s been a while since your last health screening or you have concerns you’d like to discuss, our team is here to help. Because when women are healthy, families and communities thrive.
