Kidneys are your body’s natural filtration system - removing waste, balancing fluids and helping keep you healthy. If you’re at higher risk for kidney disease, or your doctor has a concern, they may request kidney screening tests to check your kidney function. Kidney disease often has no early symptoms. Testing helps detect problems early, when treatment works best.

Speak to your doctor about your kidney health.

This week, we were proud to officially open our new digital PET-CT unit at Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital, in partnership with GE HealthCare – bringing advanced diagnostic oncology care closer to the communities we serve.

This state-of-the-art scanner, the first digital PET-CT scanner in the Life Healthcare Group and only the second privately operated PET-CT scanner in the Western Cape, gives doctors clearer, more detailed information to help manage cancer with greater accuracy, avoiding both under- and overtreatment.

We’re proud to share that Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital has completed 100 PET-CT scans since the opening of its nuclear medicine unit in November 2025. This milestone represents far more than a number. For specialists and cancer patients, PET‑CT technology enables more precise tumour detection, clearer assessment of disease and personalised treatment planning, often supporting more targeted, less invasive care.

Facing a child’s cancer diagnosis requires extraordinary courage - from the child and from their family. While doctors and medical specialists lead the treatment, parents and caregivers play an equally important role. They become a steady source of strength in guiding, comforting and supporting their child through an incredibly difficult journey.

We've highlighted three ways to bring comfort and reassurance to your child as you help them navigate a cancer diagnosis.

Have you heard of mole mapping?

It's an advanced dermatological screening that carefully tracks and monitors your moles over time to help detect signs of skin cancer. Early intervention can also reduce the need for a biopsy. Your skin tells a story about your health. Staying informed and monitoring your moles can save your life, so we’ve compiled a list of changes to look out for.
