Your urological health matters. Speak to our specialists and take the first step to better health.

“The function of the kidney is so perfect that we only notice it when it fails — by then, for many, it is already too late. Early detection and disease prevention is better than cure. Your kidneys never take a day off — and neither does my commitment to your health. As a urologist, I don't just treat kidneys; I treat you as a whole person. Take care of your kidneys, let's detect early, act sooner, and live better.”

~ Dr. Sanjay P. Sadhwani, Urologist

Listening to your body, even when changes feel small or easy to dismiss, is one of the most important steps in preventative care.

Prevention starts with awareness: noticing early signs, asking questions and seeking professional medical advice sooner rather than later. Acting early can make a meaningful difference, support timely care and help protect your long-term health and well-being.

If something doesn’t feel quite right, trust that instinct. Consult a GP or physician to guide your next steps.

The word “nuclear” in a medical setting can be daunting. But for Dr Bruce Young, a nuclear medicine physician working alongside Life Healthcare, it is often the most valuable way to help treating doctors get clarity and define tailored cancer management plans with their patients.

In this interview, Dr Young explains how advanced scans like PET-CT work, why medical radiation is carefully controlled and safe and how these technologies help doctors better understand cancer and other diseases. At its core, nuclear medicine is about insight, giving your healthcare team the information they need to guide treatment decisions with confidence.

For patients and families navigating difficult diagnoses, that clarity can make all the difference.

“He looked at my results and said, ‘Don’t worry, I can sort this out – kidney replacement therapy is an option available.’ Immediately, when he told me, my mind changed. I was positive all the way.”

For 63-year-old Henry Mntungwa, managing kidney failure involved more than just addressing his medical condition. A significant part of his journey of living with the condition was the emotional support he received from the Life Healthcare team. After sharing his kidney health story with us on our Moments that Matter series, we followed up with Henry to gain more insight into his journey.

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.

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.
