I’m pleased to share that I’ve successfully achieved the South African Certificate in Asthma Care through the National Asthma Education Programme.

As a paediatrician, this certification strengthens my commitment to improving the care and outcomes of children living with asthma. Helping children breathe easier — and live healthier, more active lives — remains at the heart of what I do. 💙🫁
