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.
