HAPPY WORLD PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY!

This year’s World Physiotherapy Day highlights the important role of physiotherapy and physical activity in preventing, managing and rehabilitating cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke.

Cardiovascular Disease

CVD remains the leading cause of death globally, claiming more than 20.5 million lives every year. Physiotherapists help reduce this burden by promoting physical activity, identifying people at risk, designing safe and personalised exercise programmes, encouraging early action and supporting people living with heart disease to stay active and reduce the risk of further complications.

Stroke

About 1 in 4 people will experience a stroke in their lifetime, yet almost all strokes can be prevented. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of stroke, with 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week, reducing the risk by about 25%.
For those recovering from stroke, physiotherapy is vital in improving mobility, balance, physical function and quality of life, while promoting independence and helping individuals return to everyday activities.

Today, we celebrate our Physiotherapists for their dedication to helping people move better, live healthier and regain their independence.

Move more. Live healthier. Prevent disease. Recover stronger.

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND GRATITUDE

The Children’s Hospital was delighted to receive a heartfelt donation from the Kamanga Family, made in appreciation for the care and dedication extended to their son, Mpanga Kamanga, during his admission at the hospital's ward A02.

For the Kamanga Family, Mpanga’s admission was a life-and-death situation. They expressed profound gratitude to the hospital staff whose commitment, compassion and expertise helped save his life and gave him a second chance.

As Mpanga celebrated his 18th birthday today, he chose to make his special day even more meaningful by giving back to the very people and patients who formed part of his journey.

In a beautiful gesture of gratitude, Mpanga donated 18 duvets to the ward and 18 bottles of juice for patients admitted at the hospital, with each item symbolising a year of his life.

18 years of life. 18 years of gratitude. 18 acts of giving.

The Kamanga Family’s gesture is a powerful reminder that sometimes the greatest way to celebrate life is by giving hope and comfort to others.

Happy 18th Birthday, Mpanga!
May your journey ahead be filled with good health, purpose and many more opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.

We are deeply grateful to 464 Restaurant for their remarkable act of kindness and generosity in celebration of Father's Day.

Their team not only donated food items but also went a step further by actively assisting in the preparation of meals for our patients and caregivers. With warmth and dedication, they joined our staff in serving the meals, creating meaningful moments of care and connection for everyone involved.

In addition, 464 Restaurant generously donated hampers filled with assorted items to patients, bringing smiles, comfort, and a special Father's Day celebration to those spending the day away from home.

In commemoration of World Sickle Cell Day, the Woodford School Student Board paid a heartfelt visit to the Sickle Cell Ward, where they donated hampers containing assorted items, blankets, and many other essential supplies to support and encourage patients receiving treatment.

The visit was marked by compassion, solidarity, and a powerful message of hope. Speaking on behalf of the students, Nonde Chilufya reminded the patients that they are not alone and that the students are thinking about them.

In his moving speech, Nonde saluted the patients for their strength, resilience, and fighting spirit in the midst of pain and daily challenges. He emphasized that they matter greatly to society and encouraged them not to let their illness define them.

"You are bigger than the illness," he said, reminding them that society sees them, is proud of them, and that the students are cheering for them every step of the way.

The donation and visit reflected the spirit of World Sickle Cell Day - raising awareness, showing support, and spreading hope to those living with sickle cell disease.
