Two-year-old Yanna's first word, 'mama,' was a miracle. Diagnosed at just 4 months with a rare brain tumour, she underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and proton beam therapy (PBT) — a precise form of radiation that targets cancer while sparing healthy tissue.

Unlike conventional radiation therapy, PBT is more precise and causes less damage to surrounding healthy cells, thereby limiting harmful side effects and helping protect young patients like Yanna from long-term cognitive and developmental challenges.

Today, Yanna is cancer-free and steadily working to regain her speech and mobility.

🫀 Ever feel unusually tired, lightheaded, or out of breath doing things that used to be second nature? Your heart could be working harder than it should.

Your heart valves are like well-oiled gates, opening and closing thousands of times a day to keep blood flowing. But when it starts to stiffen, aortic valve stenosis can make your heart push harder just to keep up.

If this rings true for you, it's time to listen to your body. Our heart specialists at Mount Elizabeth Hospital offer minimally invasive treatments like TAVI to help regain your heart’s healthy beat and your quality of life.
