Prof. Ponky Firer, Dr Brad Gelbart and Dr Matthew Street specialize in knee conditions of any type. Their approach is to improve your mobility and lessen your pain in the least invasive manner possible.
Your knees are important to your ability to move around which is why it’s important to see a doctor when movement becomes painful or for a prolonged period, if you suffer with an injury, dislocation or even if your knees feel unstable.
Not all knee injuries require surgical intervention, but it is necessary to have the injury assessed and treated correctly.
Prof. Ponky Firer – Top Orthopedic Surgeons in Johannesburg
The shoulder is a fascinating joint which is regarded as one of the most mobile joints in the human body. Due to its complex nature and functioning, the shoulder is often neglected and problems go undiagnosed or mismanaged. Sign and symptoms may be confusing and therefore put both patient and doctor in the dark as to the true cause of the problem.
All examinations begin with a thorough history and systematically examination of the patient, all of which are crucial components in making the correct diagnosis. Special investigations such as MRI and Ultrasound scans play a crucial role in confirming a diagnosis.
Shoulder surgery may be performed both through open and arthroscopic techniques. The appropriate technique depends on the final diagnosis.

Stay calm and calm your kid. If available you can take pain relieving and inti-inflammatory medication. Phone our emergency number immediately.
In cases of trauma the consequences for the tooth may differ depending basically on the intensity of the trauma:

May affect the dental pulp, or
The trauma may leave it exposed or
The tooth may be luxated. In such case the tooth can return to its position either spontaneous or with external aid or
The tooth may be completely avulsed.
Treatment also differ, depending on the intensity of the trauma:
If the dental pulp is exposed, endodontic treatment is usually required, with a later reconstruction of the crown by whatever method is indicated.
If luxation occurs, the tooth should be repositioned and splinted for a certain time.
If the tooth is avulsed, its replacement may be attempted if it has not been contaminated. The avulsed tooth may be preserved in a saline solution, milk (see below photo) or even the patient’s mouth until it is reinserted.
Emergencies
Dr. Reiners also offers a service to treat dental emergencies, such as dental trauma, soft tissue injuries and pain relief:
Dental Trauma
Soft tissue injuriesSoft tissue injuries due to any force must be treated with great care. If the injury caused the skin and mucosa to burst open, the treatment normally consist disinfecting and suturing of the wound. Dr. Reiners will always take x-rays to make sure that there are no underlying trauma to the teeth and bones. If the soft tissue injury does not present a open wound, the effect of the trauma, in most cases, lies deeper and then Dr. Reiners does a thorough examination of the underlying structures (bones, joints, teeth). Any internal bleeding must be treated with extreme care.
Treatment also differ, depending on the intensity of the trauma:
If the dental pulp is exposed, endodontic treatment is usually required, with a later reconstruction of the crown by whatever method is indicated.
If luxation occurs, the tooth should be repositioned and splinted for a certain time.
If the tooth is avulsed, its replacement may be attempted if it has not been contaminated. The avulsed tooth may be preserved in a saline solution, milk (see below photo) or even the patient’s mouth until it is reinserted.
Pain reliefDental pain may be caused by so many factors and it is therefore very important to diagnose the cause of the pain.
Dr. Reiners always does a thorough clinical examination as well as radiographic evaluation to get to the reason for the pain.
If necessary he does a pulp test as well.
Treatment normally includes standard fillings, endodontic treatment, extraction, anti-inflammatory medication, antibiotics incase of abscesses, muscle relaxants and pain medication.

Dr. Spiros Kavalieratos – Sandton Family & Cosmetic Dentist
My first dental experience took place at the age of four. A guava pip lodged itself in a cavity in one of my baby molars and my dentist extracted my tooth. He gave me a toothpaste sample and a balloon and that experience molded my destiny. I wanted to become a dentist from that day onward.
At age eight I wore a removable orthodontic appliance and that was when I realized that I wasn’t normal. Everyone hated going to the dentist. I used to beg my parents to take me there!
It was difficult to gain acceptance into a South African Dental School, as I was a foreign student and places were limited for us. I therefore took a circuitous route , which took me through a few extra years studying dental technology and qualifying first as a dental technician at Technikon Pretoria. This has given me a unique perspective and training that has proved invaluable in my dental career.
Whilst completing my one year practical training as a dental technician trainee at the University of Stellenbosch I was privileged to meet many dental students and dentists. This made me more determined than ever to persevere and to reapply to the School of Dentistry at the University of the Witwatersrand. My application was accepted and that was the beginning of the realization of my dream.
I feel honored and privileged in being able to serve you. It’s not about changing your smile, but about changing your life and well-being.

Dr Spiros Kavalieratos Reviews
Hello Dr Spiros
Just a quick note to tell you again how much appreciated your care and attention to my problem was. I would have to go very far to find a finer and more caring doctor if ever to be found! I will be visiting Dr G in Cape Town on Wednesday to finalise the issue. Most important I am out of pain and all wrinkles have returned to the right side of my face.
Having healthy gums and teeth is something that we all take for granted.
It’s only when things go wrong that we search for alternatives. I have had the experience of rehabilitating my own mouth over the last few years and it is only the result of excellent Dentists and Surgeons, as well as up to date technology like Dental Implants that I feel like I have got a second chance of enjoying the benefits of a healthy mouth.
A dental implant is like having a new tooth
in your mouth. It’s impossible to tell the difference between an implant and a real tooth. Multiple implants is also a possibility. Nothing seems impossible these days – some personal research is beneficial in order to gain more practical understanding of Dental Implants. It’s worth all the preparation, planning, surgery and cost. Just make sure you pick the right dental team.

Dr Bothner Parklane Reviews – Doctor Overview
Dr. Bothner is a Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at the Hart Parklane Fertility Clinic in Johannesburg.
She completed her qualification in 1989 at the University of Ulm in Germany, before relocating to South Africa and completing her Fellowship in 1996 at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. Her training was done at various hospitals, including Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital.
Despite her high level of education, Dr. Bothner strives to continue training. So, in 2018, she completed her Master’s degree in the Biotechnology of Human Assisted Reproduction and Embryology at the University of Valencia, and is an active member of The South African Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Dr. Bothner has been working at Parklane Hospital in Private Practice since 1998, and joined her late husband, Dr. N.H. Netshidzivhani, at Parklane Fertility in the year 2000. Dr. Bothner continued managing the clinic, and was joined by Dr. Klaus Wiswedel – a legendary physician who founded the first infertility clinic in the country – and Dr. JFA Potgieter.
Dr. Bothner takes a holistic approach to treatment, and she has completed a number of courses, including BodyTalk, Reiki and Phytoalchemy, to be able to give her patients the best possible care.
In her spare time, Dr. Bothner takes a keen interest in nature and enjoys wildlife and horseback riding. She also enjoys dancing and spends time reading whenever possible.
Dr Bothner delivered my son in March 2010. She was my first gynae ever and I refuse to see anyone else to date. When I suffered a miscarriage in 2014 she was as brilliant as ever helping me understand the whole situation. I am looking forward to going back to her because I may be preggies. Although I am on the other side of town I still refuse to see anyone else. Source
Netcare Excellent Experience
My wife delivered our first baby on Friday 31 May 2013 at Parklane Hospital. We were anxious as our baby was under weight (2.28kg) and we feared that something could be wrong. Delivery went smooth (Dr. Bothner & Dr. Lucic) and we felt a lot better after we found out nothing was wrong. I must applaud all the staff of Parklane Hospital for making our experience a happy one. One person in particular have been outstanding. Nurse Lindy Ntuli taught us how to take care of our baby. I do understand that it is her job to do that but being a HR Manager myself I do appreciate extraordinary staff a little more than the ordinary person. She persevered through all our feeding sessions until my wife was comfortable breastfeeding. She followed up on our baby’s progress even when she was not our allocated nurse. She guaranteed success in the beginning and achieved it in the end. We owe her a lot and my letter to you is only a small gesture but hopefully you can understand what her dedication has meant to us. I commend Parklane’s staff for excellent service and professionalism. We will be referring everyone we know. Many thanks. Source

You can also try DR K Bothner,don’t have her details on me at the moment, but she also came highly recommended. You could google her if you like, she is also at Parklane but she’s at Meredale on Fridays
Unfortunately, Dr Bothner is also very busy at times, it does get annoying at some point. Source
Dr Bothner Parklane Reviews – News
Dr Herman Nditsheni Netshidzivhani – a specialist who gave life
Among those who came to pay their respects at Netshidzivhani’s Johannesburg home this week were a number of children of friends and family who were delivered by him and Dr Brigit Bothner, Netshidzivhani’s wife and partner in his gynaecological practice.
In the early 1990s, Netshidzivhani was the registrar of the gynaecology department at the then Ga-Rankuwa Hospital (now Dr George Mukhari Hospital), and went on to work at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, where he met Bothner, who had come from her native Germany to train, and who he later married. Theirs was an enduring love story.
In a statement read out at his funeral in Tshakhuma yesterday, Bothner said Netshidzivhani was the “love of my life, my soul mate”. Source

The partnerships are key to the content of her magazines, too. In Mamas & Papas, her long-standing specialist columnists are Dr Herman Netshidzivhani and Dr Birgit Bothner, married paediatricians based at Park Lane Hospital. “Partnerships like this one are vital, because, at the end of the day, content is king,” says Mdluli.

Sonar is easy to apply as a diagnostic method in obstetrics and gynaecology by direct contact scanning through a film of olive oil applied to the abdominal wall. Using the full bladder technique one can map out the uterus and its contents in very early pregnancy revealing the growing gestation sac from before the sixth week of pregnancy onwards. The level of nidation of the ovum and its relationship to subsequent miscarriage can be studied and the diagnosis of “blighted ovum” is facilitated at an early stage.
The diagnosis of hydatidiform mole and the estimation of retained products of conception following abortion are now commonplace. Twins can be diagnosed very early in pregnancy by the demonstration of two gestation sacs. Later on the finding of two heads on two-dimensional scanning makes the diagnosis even more certain. The growth of the foetus can be studied by plotting the enlargement of the biparietal diameter, and localisation of the placenta has become a routine and reliable procedure. Using the Doppler echo effect the foetal heart can be picked up from the 13th week of pregnancy onwards.
Approximately 30 per cent of all in-patients in the Queen Mother’s Hospital are now investigated by sonar at some stage or other in pregnancy. In gynaecology our experience continues and we have not had to alter our diagnostic criteria as applied to ovarian and uterine tumours, the different varieties of ascites, splenomegaly and hepatic infiltration with metastases.
A plea is made for sonar being accepted as an ancillary diagnostic technique by the radiological world already accustomed to visual diagnostic techniques.

PAYMENT
Medical Aid patients
Medical Aid patients are to familiarise themselves with their medical scheme’s/insurer’s benefits and available funds before admission. Patients are to provide the confirmation/pre-authorisation number obtained from their scheme on their pre-admission form. The account remains the patient’s responsibility and is payable within 30 days of discharge.
Private paying patients:
A pre-payment covering the estimated cost of the procedure/service is required on admission. Should the account exceed this amount, the patient may be required to make further interim payments. The estimated amount is not a quote as there are variables that may influence the final amount. Every effort will be made to finalise the account on discharge. A waiting period of 30 to 60 minutes may be expected. If discharge takes place over a weekend or after hours, the final account will be posted to the guarantor of the account on the next working day. The account is payable upon receipt. If the deposit exceeds the final billed account, a refund will be issued to the patient from Head Office in Stellenbosch within 25 days of discharge, depending on the method of payment.
Please note that calls to this number may be recorded. It is an offence to place prank calls.
Tips on what to do in an emergency
A medical emergency means someone’s life is in danger and they require immediate medical attention.
In case of an emergency, take a deep breath and calm down.
Call ER24 on 084 124.
Tell the call taker that there is an emergency and you require assistance.
Give a brief overview of what type of emergency you are dealing with (i.e. person fell down the stairs, someone not breathing, a motor vehicle collision, etc.)

Logo Design South Africa : Improve Your Conversion Rate And Increase Revenue With These User Experience Design Essentials
It’s a staggering statistic, but it certainly says something about the importance of user experience in website design : Logo Design South Africa.
User experience (UX) is the overall experience a visitor has on a website, in a program or in a mobile app. It’s not any single design element or layout that defines the experience — instead, it is a comprehensive compilation of many little interactions woven together, producing positive or negative feelings about the website and, by default, the parent company.
The emotional connection that users feel as a direct result of the UX design directly impacts brand identity, consumer retention and a business’s bottom line.
Plus, according to research from Stanford University, over 46 percent of consumers view a website design as a top indicator of credibility — a quality that is imperative for brands to secure to captivate new consumers and then turn them into returning customers.
But these three simple design tips will improve your user experience, increase conversions and revenue and ultimately grow your business.
Logo Design South Africa Incorporate consistent branding.
Studies show that consistent branding can increase revenue by up to 23 percent. Plus, a cohesive visual identity across every platform and device — including your website — will aid in creating a brand that consumers enjoy engaging with, leading them to want to engage with you over and over and over again.
This cohesive visual identity is quite easy to reproduce. The top website designs utilize a recognizable color palette, imagery that provides value and information to users, consistent typography and a subtle branding on each page of the website — often in the form of a watermark-like logo. This consistent branding creates a stable environment that empowers your users to find the products or information they are looking for without distracting or confusing them. They know where they are, what they can expect and now have the time to determine what they want to do.
An excellent example.
An example of consistent branding and strong user experience design. The megastore’s investment in a modern, simple logo design and an easy-to-use website have resulted in a digital destination that is completely intuitive and easy to shop on. The regularly large logo design condenses to a simple responsive symbol, but in every iteration of the design — desktop, tablet and mobile-friendly — the bones and structure of the site remain intact.
Users can quickly search, easily access their cart and personal account, and speedily find their way back to the homepage should they get lost while journeying deep into the website’s many pages. This simple, clean, consumer-centric design is branded in Walmart’s signature blue and yellow hues and mirrors the visuals and messaging that every piece of Walmart’s marketing collateral has, from commercials to social media posts to banner ads. Walmart prioritized a consistent brand and simple site over bells and whistles — and it paid off, too. Their e-commerce sales grew by 23 percent in Q4 of 2017 — just like the study said they could.
Logo Design South Africa Utilize clear calls to action.
As author Nora Roberts said, “If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.” That idea certainly rings true in website design. Amazingly enough, even after they have found their way to your online site, some consumers won’t know the action you want them to take until you make it crystal clear with direct language and calls to action (CTA).
To maximize the UX design — and effectiveness — of a CTA button, there are a few rules to live by:
Make buttons large and fully clickable — don’t just rely on the text within the button
Write clear, easy to understand messaging. This can be playful and on-brand, but most importantly, users should immediately understand what will happen when they click the button. (Bonus tip: Include a verb, an urgent adjective and keep the whole CTA short and sweet).
The font itself should be readable and large — now is not the time to play with any trendy, swirling fonts you may have recently discovered. Stick to simple sans-serif typography.
Ensure the call to action stands out. Stay within your color palette but use a hue or unique shape that makes the action stand out and grabs a user’s attention to boost conversions.
If it fits with your aesthetic, include tiny complementary design elements, such as an arrow or a shopping cart.
Utilize white space to allow the message to breathe.
Logo Design South Africa Create for consumers – not designers.
At the end of the day, a website isn’t for designers or a company — it is for the consumers. Therefore, before adding any features or implementing any changes, designers should walk through what that means for the user experience and customer journey, first.
Once you conduct consumer research, you and your team will understand the features that are the most important to them and those that — even if they are beautiful — won’t make a difference in a customer’s overall experience and interaction with your brand.
Finally, once you design any UX design improvement, take the time to A/B test the new feature to ensure it is functional and breeds better conversions. Studies show that most companies discover the best conversion rate optimization through A/B testing as opposed to total implementation.
Ultimately, investing in user experience design will provide a strong return on investment down the road. Of course, there are always other improvements that will improve UX, such as fast loading time and site speed, strong SEO, and integrated content marketing and videos. But by paying attention to the customer journey on every device, creating intuitive navigation and focusing on clear messaging and calls to action, you’ll dazzle consumers with a pleasant interaction and keep them coming back for more.

Tygerberg Hospital Visiting Hours

The above times are for the following wards/all modules:
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Internal Medicine

ICU
It is recommended that you phone and confirm these times for the ward that the patient is in.
Information you will need
It is strongly recommended that you know the ward where the patient is being kept before attempting to visit. Tygerberg is a large facility and without this information it’s difficult to locate patients.
Dos and Don’ts for Tygerberg Hospital Visiting Hours
Dos for Tygerberg Hospital Visiting Hours
Do ask the patient’s permission to visit before you arrive. Ask them to be candid with you, and if they prefer you not visit, ask them if another day would be better, or if they would prefer you visit once they get home. Many patients love visitors, but some just don’t feel up to it. Do the patient the courtesy of asking permission.
Do wash your hands and sanitize them before you touch the patient or hand the patient something you’ve been touching. If you wash your hands, then touch something else, like a telephone or TV remote or even the bed linens or your jacket, wash your hands and sanitize them again. Infections come from almost any source and the pathogens can survive on surfaces for days. 1 You can’t risk being responsible for making your favorite patient even sicker than they already are.
Do take balloons or flowers as long as you know the patient isn’t allergic to them and is in a room by themselves. If your patient shares a hospital room, you won’t want to take either, because you don’t know if the roommate has an allergy. Most solid color balloons are latex, which is rubber, and some people are allergic to rubber. When in doubt, take mylar balloons or don’t take any at all.
Do consider alternatives to balloons and flowers. A card, something a child has made for you to give to the patient, a book to read, a crossword puzzle book, even a new nightgown or pair of slippers are good choices. The idea isn’t to spend much money; instead, it’s about making the patient feel cared for without creating problems that might trigger an allergic reaction.
Do turn off your cell phone, or at least turn the ringer off. Different hospitals have different rules about where and when cell phones can be used. In some cases, they may interfere with patient-care devices, so your patient can be at risk if you don’t follow the rules. In other cases, it’s simply a consideration for those who are trying to sleep and heal and don’t want to be annoyed by ringtones.
Do stay for a short time. It’s the fact that you have taken the time to visit, and not the length of time you stay, that gives your patient the boost. Staying too long may tire them out. Better to visit more frequently but for no more than a half hour or so each time.
Do leave the room if the doctor or provider arrives to examine or talk to the patient. The conversation or treatment they provide is private, and unless you are a proxy, parent, spouse or someone else who is an official advocate for the patient, that conversation is not your business. You can return once the provider leaves.
Don’t enter the hospital if you have any symptoms that could be contagious. Neither the patient nor other hospital workers can afford to catch whatever you have. If you have symptoms like a cough, runny nose, rash or even diarrhea, don’t visit. Make a phone call or send a card instead.
During flu season, it is not uncommon for hospitals to restrict visitors to spouses, significant others, family members over 18, and pastors, so it is worthwhile to call the hospital before your visit.2
Don’t take young children to visit unless it’s absolutely necessary. Even then, check with the hospital before you take a child with you. Many hospitals have restrictions on when children may visit.
Don’t take food to your patient unless you know the patient can tolerate it. Many patients are put on special diets while in the hospital. This is especially true for those with certain diseases or even those who have recently had anesthesia for surgery. Your goodies could cause big problems.
Don’t visit if your presence will cause stress or anxiety. If there is a problem in the relationship, wait until after the patient is well enough to go home before you potentially stress them by trying to mend that relationship.
Don’t expect the patient to entertain you. Your friend or loved one is there to heal and get healthy again, not to talk or keep you occupied. It may be better for your patient to sleep or just rest rather than carry on a conversation. If you ask them before you visit, gauge their tone of voice as well as the words they use. They may try to be polite, but may prefer solitude at this time instead of a visit.
Don’t stay home, on the other hand, because you assume your friend or loved one prefers you not visit. You won’t know until you ask, and your friend or loved one will appreciate the fact that you are trying to help by asking the question.
Don’t smoke before visiting or during a visit, even if you excuse yourself to go outdoors. The odor from smoke is nauseating to many people, and some patients have a heightened sense of smell while taking certain drugs or in the sterile hospital environment. At most, it will cause them to feel sicker, and if your friend is a smoker, you may cause them to crave a cigarette, and that might be problematic.

78 De Bron Street, Kenridge, Cape Town, Western Cape
KENRIDGE’S STORY – Tygerberg Animal Hospital Kenridge
Established in 1992, this branch at 78 De Bron Ave has earned itself an enviable reputation in not only treating small animals, but also reptiles, fish, rodents and exotics. Patients that have become quite commonplace are snakes, tortoises, rock monitors and rabbits. Run by Dr Stephen Smith, Kenridge has special heated snake/tortoise cages, heating pads and facilities for special anaesthetic requirements.
Following the recent renovations, clients now have the use of a new and much larger parking area in Mildred Road, with easy access to the clinic via a new entrance. Kenridge now boasts a new reception and retail area with separate dog and cat waiting areas, plus separate dog, cat and exotics hospital wards. Of importance is a state-of-the-art theatre, as well as new prep room, dental/non-sterile procedure room, laboratory and pharmacy.
Complementing Dr. Smith at the practice are veterinarians Dr Liesl Shaw, Margaret Haddow and Donna Brook, as well as eight staff members.
Our primary goal is the improvement of animal health and this takes many forms. In our consultation rooms we provide primary health care, ranging from vaccinations to deworming and flea treatment, in order to maintain the health of your pets as well as to prevent diseases.
Sick animals are checked in consultations where the client’s concerns as well as the history of the pet are discussed. Upon examining the animal, decisions are made as to whether any further diagnostic tests are needed and what treatment options are available. Some patients with less severe ailments are treated at home or on an outpatient basis. The more serious or complicated cases may be admitted for in-hospital treatment, further tests or surgery.
Many different surgeries are done on a daily basis at all our branches, but the most routine include sterilisations (spaying or castrations), stitching up wounds and the removal of growths or tumours. These are done under very sterile conditions in special theatres to prevent infections. For more specialised procedures you may be referred to one of the bigger branches.
In-hospital patients are regularly monitored and appropriate treatment is given. Further testing may be necessary for accurate diagnosis, and many of these, including X-rays, ultrasounds, blood and other laboratory tests, can be done at the bigger branches.
At our Bellville branch we have vets on the premises 24 hours a day for emergency and intensive care cases.

HISTORY – Tygerberg Animal Hospital Kenridge
A heritage as diverse and remarkable as all the patients we’ve treated with care and love over the years marks the Tygerberg Animal Hospital history.
Way back in 1954 Dr John Dorrington opened his veterinary practice in Teddington St, Bellville. Nine years later Dr Wendel du Buy joined him and the practice in Kort St, Bellville operated as Dorrington & Du Buy. In 1965 the practice had to be registered as a hospital in order to purchase drugs – which used to be bought from the local chemist – therefore the name Tygerberg Animal Hospital was born. Dr Wim Peters joined Drs Dorrington and Du Buy in 1967.
Durbanville branch saw the light of day in 1974, while Parow branch was opened in 1984. In the 1980s Drs Du Buy and Strong started the first clinical pathology clinic for animals by sending blood to pathologists in order to set up a blood test database for dogs and cats.
TAH Bellville relocated to Edward St in 1985 and bought out
Dr Kriel’s practice in Goodwood three years later. Another three years later the Kenridge practice was opened, and in 1997 TAH Bellville relocated to its current location in Kontiki St. With each move the facilities were upgraded. Meanwhile, the Eversdal branch relocated to Sonstraal in May 2003.
Over the years, TAH grew from a four-man team of vets to 19 vets and 100 staff members. The long-serving veterinarians all agree that one of the most rewarding aspects of progress has been the huge change in client attitude towards pets. From the extreme of people willing to put their pets to sleep for the sake of convenience years ago, pet owners now spend whatever it takes to keep their pets healthy and alive. This has been facilitated with all the hi-tech options available for optimum pet health care and TAH has been at the forefront of this technology.
Tygerberg Animal Hospital Kenridge – Dr Stephen Smith – Squirrel eye surgery
It all started in January 2011 when a newborn baby squirrel, Stuart, was brought to her – literally – by the Jack Russell dog belonging to the hostel master at Rondebosch Boys.
It was probably kicked out of the nest, because it only had one functioning eye.
“People always associate me with animals and even it is a dove or another small animal they found, they bring it to me.
The other day the matric boys brought in a tiny sunbird chick.
It just worked out this way; it has followed me,” she said.
Dr Stephen Smith, an exotic animal veterinarian at the Tygerberg Animal Hospital in Kenridge, performed plastic surgery on Stuart’s deformed eye to build a functioning eyelid.
Women of all ages have the right to an abortion and should never be denied the service because of their age. It’s, however, advisable to be accompanied by a trusted adult (a parent, aunt or teacher) for support if you’re under 18.
Abortion methods
If you’re considering going for an abortion, speak to a medical practitioner about the safest methods available to you.
Medical Abortions
Medical abortions use medication (pills or tablets) only. It’s available for women who are between 4 and 9 weeks pregnant. The length of the process is different for each woman but it usually takes a few days. Woman may experiences symptoms similar to a miscarriage.
Surgical Abortions
Surgical abortions involve a nurse (up to 12 weeks of pregnancy) or a doctor (from 12 to 20 weeks) conducting a same-day procedure in a clinic or hospital.
Where can you have a safe abortion?
Government hospitals, designated private doctors and gynaecologists, and non-profit providers such as the Marie Stopes centres in the Western Cape, offer safe and legal termination of pregnancy.
To have a free abortion, the request must be made at a primary healthcare clinic, where the pregnancy will be confirmed, counselling provided, an appointment made, and a referral letter is given to a facility where the procedure can be performed.
Not all health workers are willing to be involved in this service, but they are obligated by law to inform the client of her rights and must refer the client to a health worker or facility, where she can get the service at one of these Western Cape Health Facilities.
Women are advised to go for safe, legal abortions rather than “backstreet” abortions that are likely to endanger their health and their lives.
How can you access the service?
If you’re a first-time visitor to a health facility, you will be asked to complete a form and a folder will be opened.
You will need the following:
Your official ID document.
Your referral letter (if relevant).
Any medication you are taking.
Your clinic/hospital card if you have previously registered at the facility.
You must sign an informed consent form giving permission for the abortion to be done.
Note: Health workers who are unwilling to give the service for any reason must refer you to a colleague who is willing to do so, or to the appropriate health care facility near you with a referral letter and a booking.
Tygerberg Hospital Abortion Clinic – Caring for yourself after an abortion
Recovery after an uncomplicated abortion usually happens fairly quickly but it’s different for every woman.
Normal symptoms that most women will experience after a surgical abortion include:
Irregular bleeding or spotting for the first 2 weeks.
Cramping for the first 2 weeks. Some women may have cramping (like menstrual cramps) for as long as 6 weeks.
Emotional reactions for 2 to three weeks.
If you experience any of these symptoms, please consult your nearest medical facility immediately:
Lasting pain.
Discoloured or smelly vaginal discharge.
Abdominal tenderness.
Hot flushes or fever.
Sudden belly swelling.
Rapid heart rate.
Continuous and heavy bleeding, that soaks two or more pads in an hour, for two hours in a row.
Tips to speed-up your recovery:
Drink a lot of fluids, including water.
Get a few days’ leave from work to make sure you have recovered fully.
Eat healthy food, take vitamins and get a lot of rest.
Avoid exercising for 2 weeks.
Avoid lifting heavy things and keep clear of hard work.
Tampons can be used 4 weeks after your treatment or after your first period. Waiting until then helps to minimise the risk of infection.
Refrain from having sex for up to 2 weeks after an abortion to minimise the risk of infection.
Avoid drinking alcohol for 48 hours following your treatment, as alcohol can increase the risk of heavy bleeding.
Look after your feelings as well as your body. Talk to someone about your abortion if you need to.
Women are advised to go for safe, legal abortions rather than “backstreet” abortions that are likely to endanger their health and their lives.
It’s much better, and in the long run, a lot cheaper to go to a registered clinic or hospital to have an abortion done. Make informed decisions about your body and your life.
Tygerberg Hospital Abortion Clinic – How do I know if a place is unsafe?
Those flyers, you see them everywhere… Promising safe, same-day, painless abortions – 100% guarantee them, in fact.
But these illegal abortions are literal death traps and you need to avoid them. Even so, between 52 and 58% of the yearly abortions taking place in SA are illegal. And the problem with this is that you can get seriously hurt.
Not just that, unsafe abortions can lead to death. Here are a few tips to check whether a place is up to standard…
If a place is happy to perform abortions outside the constraints of the law (after 20 weeks), it’s illegal and unsafe. No abortion clinic will operate within an unsafe, unsanitary area or an actual building.
It’s a big red flag if there is only a mobile number and the “medical practitioner” is happy to meet you at your preferred location.
If you arrive at the location and begin to feel on edge, ask for the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) registration number. If this can’t be given to you, Avoid. This. Place.
It’s also a trap if other practices besides medical and surgical abortions are offered.
All abortion clinics will do physical examinations in latex gloves and with general hygiene (running water, clean linen, a medical waste disposal system…). You will always be recommended to schedule a follow-up appointment.
If this isn’t offered or unadvised, beware.
Tygerberg Hospital Abortion Clinic – Know your rights
All women have the right to legal, safe abortions. This means that it doesn’t matter what age you are or what your family, husband or partner thinks. Essentially, it’s up to you. There is also no limit to the number of times you can have the procedure.
You have the right to choose what is best for you and your body.
Not all health practitioners are willing to be involved in termination services. This is their choice and that is fine. However, should they refuse to help you for whatever reason, they are obligated to refer you to someone or someplace that will. It is the law. Know your rights and use them.

Two procedures are involved: an incision is made in the leg to remove a vein which is then used as a graft to create a new coronary artery. the second incision is made in the chest to enable the surgeon to reach the heart. More than one artery can be blocked and it is then necessary to insert more than one graft.
Terms like double bypass, triple bypass and quadruple bypass indicate the number of grafts required.

Hepato-pancreatobilieary surgery (ERCP’s)
ERCP is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the pancreatic and bile ducts. A bendable, lighted tube (endoscope) about the thickness of your index finger is placed through your mouth and into your stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). In the duodenum a small opening is identified (ampulla) and a small plastic tube (cannula) is passed through the endoscope and into this opening. Dye (contrast material) is injected and X-rays are taken to study the ducts of the pancreas and liver.
What Preparation is Required?
Your stomach must be empty, so you should not eat or drink anything for approximately 8 hours before the examination. Your physician will be more specific about the time to begin fasting depending on the time of day that your test is scheduled.
To make the examination comfortable, you will be sedated during the procedure, and, therefore, you will need someone to drive you home afterward. Sedatives will affect your judgment and reflexes for the rest of the day, so you should not drive or operate machinery until the next day.
Speak to your doctor for any further prerequisites or requirements.

The hospital is predominantly utilized by general practitioners who place great importance on the need for comprehensive integrated healthcare, involving consultations, admissions, investigations and procedures.
KPH was started in 2005 by a group of motivated general practitioners that had been practicing in Kokstad for many years. They were driven to provide Kokstad with a world class private facility that would serve both the local community and the large drainage area of surrounding towns that feed into Kokstad as a service centre. It was specifically designed to service all members of our rainbow nation.
Starting with just 12 beds, Kokstad Private Hospital has grown to 40 beds and it is our hope to continue this path of development. It is our vision to continually improve our service offering to the communities of the Greater Kokstad Region, for example our latest development is the installation of a CT scan with state-of-the-art tele-radiology
Patients that are scheduled for theatre should not eat from midnight on the night before the operation, unless if it is otherwise indicated by your treating doctor.
If you are scheduled as a day case, it is important to arrange transport home for the afternoon.
In some cases it might be safer not to drive yourself home after the procedure due to drowsiness and impaired coordination. Please try to make other arrangements for transport if possible. Feel free to discuss this with your doctor or anaesthetist.
Your medical aid will not pay for you to be admitted the day before your operation and will not pay for an overnight stay if you are booked for day case surgery.

Close Corporation South Africa – A close corporation (or CC) is a type of South African legal entity which was usually chosen for smaller businesses. Under the new Companies Act of 2008, close corporations can no longer be registered and they will be phased out over time.
The Close Corporation is the simplest company type in South Africa. This article explains its basic structure.
The company type Close Corporation (hereinafter referred to as CC) is from an international perspective a rare type of a simplified limited liability company. It was introduced in 1984 and is still today the most popular legal form to conduct business within South Africa as well as over the borders. It represents a cheap alternative to the established limited liability companies with share capital, being the Private Company and the Public Company under the Companies Act. Though it will probably phased out under the Companies Act, it will still be valid for the next 10 years.
What is a close corporation?
A close corporation is a legal entity much like a company. A CC is run and administered by its members, who must be natural persons (i.e. not other legal entities). A close corporation’s members are like a company’s shareholders. In the past, the members of a close corporation usually chose the entity because it was cheaper and easier to administer than a private company ((Pty) Ltd). The business could be mature or a start-up, but it could only have a maximum of 10 members. In the past, companies used to have many regulations and requirements that made the entity difficult for small businesses. These extra requirements made the close corporation a much more attractive business form.
Close Corporation South Africa – Under the new Companies Act
The new Companies Act does not allow new close corporations to be registered anymore, but close corporations that already exist are still valid entities. If you are looking for an entity to govern your new business, you will need to register a company. The distinction between a CC and a company is being phased out, and private companies now offer many of the same benefits (and sometimes more) as old close corporations. It is easy to convert a CC to a company, and many larger close corporations have done so. In future, there will simply be small (old CCs and private companies) and large companies.
Incorporation
A CC has minimum one but maximum 10 members, being the owners of the company, due to the fact that this company type should be used for small scale entrepreneurs and business starters. Only natural persons can be members of a CC, a legal entity, no matter where incorporated, cannot be member of a CC. The Incorporation of a CC is initiated with the founding statement of the members. It contains the basic layout for the CC and can be amended later amongst the members by concluding an association agreement that is not accessible for any non-member.
Close Corporation South Africa – Name
A few weeks before the founding statement is lodged with the registrar of companies, an application for name reservation has to be made. Once the name is approved this reservation is valid for two months during which the founding statement has to reach the registrar. The name has to end on the letters ‘CC’ or ‘BK’, being the Afrikaans translation , while it is possible to check six name alternatives at the same time on the same form. For selecting a proper name the standard rules for naming a company apply. Besides the names of all members the name of the company has to feature on all business correspondence, s41 Close Corporations Act.
Representation
The rules of representation usually are fixed in the association agreement. The main difference between the CC and other types of company is, that it has no registered director, only a registered accounting office, who is not usually acting to represent the CC but rather to receive all relevant and official correspondence. In daily business the CC is usually represented by its members as long as they are not legally hindered to do so. Restrictions in representation amongst members are only valid if made known to the third party in question.
Liability
Due to the fact that the CC has got its own legal persona, the company is responsible for all its statutory as well as contractual and delictual liabilities. Under exceptional circumstances certain members may attract liability if behaving in contradiction to the law.
Liquidation and winding up
A CC may be resolved out of various reasons and by different parties. Beside the voluntary liquidation of a solvent CC based on an unanimous resolution , 50% of the members may lodge an application to the court to liquidate the CC. Other reasons are in the framework of the common law, such as insolvency, long-term dormancy or loass of all business. Finally a CC ceases to exist if converted into a Private or Public Company.
Financials and Audit
Other than for the Private Company the CC does not need to prepare audited year end balance sheets. A simple Overview of income and expenditures is sufficient to be submitted to the Receiver of Revenue (Taxman).
In essence the CC is a cheap and efficient company for business start-ups, small businesses and property holdings as long as this corporate form exists.
The hospital is located in the affluent town of Umhlanga in KwaZulu-Natal. Umhlanga is a vibrant residential and commercial town about 16km North of Durban. The town was previously a seaside resort town called Umhlanga Rocks which merged with La Lucia and became Umhlanga.
