4 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE DR DUMISANI BOMELA THESE ARE CHALLENGING TIMES. THERE IS ALSO OPPORTUNITY. On the one hand, we operate in a struggling economy featuring high unemployment levels and severe cost of living pressures on South Africans, and on the other hand, there is a growing realisation that these challenges, and others, can be addressed if we all put each other first and collaborate towards the same objectives. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do. This nation has proven our resilience, capability, and innovation before, and we can do it again if we stand shoulder-to-shoulder. At stake, for us, is the health of a country and its people. I say this with no fear of contradiction that we at HASA are committed to playing as positive a role as possible to build a strong, responsive, and accessible health system. We remain open to engaging in solutions in the spirit of collaboration described across the healthcare sector, with other business sectors, and with each level of the Government across our nation. We can collaborate on the National Health Insurance Bill to resolve concerns to lay a strong healthcare foundation for future generations. Next year will be our make-or-break. There is a simple and pertinent objective for all of us engaged in making the decisions that shape our national future: South Africa must come first. Our appeal, therefore, is that together, we co-create a robust, resilient, and risk-averse healthcare system. On behalf of my staff and the members of the Hospital Association of South Africa, have a wonderful festive break.

As South Africa moves towards a future where politicians and healthcare professionals will forge a new health insurance system to serve the country’s citizens better, there will be a need for collaboration. The problem, says Colleen Magner of Reos Partners, is that this collaboration often fails despite all the best intentions. “So we have to do it better,” she said. She says one way of doing this is using ‘radical collaboration’, but that depends on participants adopting a different viewpoint. “It is the ultimate surrender. It is about saying, ‘This is possible, and we can work at speed, scale, and justice. It is about crossing boundaries,” she said. Magner spoke at the Hospital Association of South Africa Conference in Cape Town. It is about working with people you may not like or trust but staying the course no matter how hard it is. The problem is that most organisations want to continue as they are. But we need to recognise that there is more to gain by letting go. Magner says it is also about being honest in the negotiations. In the context of National Health Insurance, with all the different role players who need to sit around the same table, radical collaboration is the best approach, says Magner. “So when we look at Universal Health Coverage, we don’t know what will work best in South Africa. So we’ve got to run diligent experiments and learn in an agile and adaptive way.” And it also comes down to listening and telling stories that are not negative but give hope. Radical collaboration has worked worldwide to help fight climate change and bring sustainable energy to communities. It helps smooth the process of bringing innovation to semi-arid regions. “So radical collaboration is not easy. It isn’t easy. But it can be done.” A NEW TYPE OF COLLABORATION WILL HELP BIRTH HEALTHCARE REFORM HASA BLOG Colleen Magner of Reos Partners.

8 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE When it comes to spinal surgery, small is better and the tinier the incision, the quicker a patient goes home. Minimally invasive surgery aims to make the smallest incision possible, and a new suite of technologies which are cutting edge to southern Africa are allowing surgeons to do this with pinpoint accuracy, which in turn has speeded up patient recovery time. The Zuid Afrikaans Hospital may be one of the oldest healthcare facilities in South Africa, with its roots going back to early Pretoria at the turn of the 20th century. Yet, this private hospital implements its future-focused vision: “To provide superior patient centred care whilst advancing towards world class clinical innovation.” At the heart of this technology is the Brainlab LoopX that is revolutionising navigated spine surgery with the help of robotics. Brainlab claims it is the first of its kind and Zuid Afrikaans Hospital has acquired the technology to the benefit of its surgeons and patients. The technology is so new that only recently did Brainlab secure US Federal Drug Administration clearances for this particular robotic surgery system. The world’s first navigated spine surgery using Brainlab’s LoopX was also only recently conducted by the Spanish-based hospital, San Juan de Dios León. The Loop X is a scanner on wheels that is easily moved around a theatre. When not in use it can be wheeled out of the way. The X-ray detector and imaging source can be moved independently along the ringed gantry so as to take 2D and 3D scans of the patient. The technology uses little radiation, making it safer to use. The ringed gantry creates an intra-operative 360=-degree X-ray machine that allows the radiographer to take a CT image of where the surgeon is to make their incision. Data collected and transferred to the Neuro-Spinal Navigation system, enables Brainlab system to know where exactly the ZUID-AFRIKAANS HOSPITAL: WITH ROBOTICS, SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL FEATURED MEMBER A new state-of-theart robotic system is cutting down patient recovery times.
HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE 9 patient is in “space”, so that the surgeon can plan trajectories or where to insert screws for common spinal procedures. All of this is controlled wirelessly with a touch screen tablet. The Zuid Afrikaans hospital has also bought a Cirq robotic arm that attaches to the Brainlab Loop X. The robotic arm helps the surgeon align their instruments when drilling or when placing spinal screws. Other technologies linked to the Brainlab Loop X have been incorporated into the Spinal Theatre at the Zuid Afrikaans hospital. The Storz Vitom 3D, is an exo-scope that is used when a surgeon needs to remove or clean parts of the spine. This is basically a microscope, but here the surgeon doesn’t need peer into the eye pieces during the procedure. Rather this 3D camera image appears on a monitor. The advantage is that more than one person can view the image and the surgeon can stand upright while performing surgery. Another piece of technology that the hospital has acquired is the VisitOR1, a robotic camera that can be remotely controlled anywhere in the world, through a laptop or even a phone. This gives a user access to the theatre where they are able to communicate directly with the surgeon. The advantage of the VisitOR1 is that it provides easy and accessible off site teaching or support to the surgical team. In addition to the current suite of technologies there is Alex, created be the company ICAN. Alex is a digital theatre assistant that steps in to assist the surgeon and staff. This assistant can control the lights, move images around on monitors and streamline work flows. In the past, spinal surgeons were forced to make large incisions, cutting through muscle to get to the spine. For the patients, following such surgery it meant a long hospital stay as they recovered. Now, thanks to the smaller incision, they benefit from a significantly reduced hospital stay and earlier mobilisation. The investment into the technology comes at a cost. However, a study that appeared in The Spine Journal found that despite the significant higher upfront costs, the reduction in time spent in the operating room, and patients recovering in hospital, resulted in a lower costs over a twoyear period. It is with the help of such technology that surgeries are becoming safer with enhanced recovery for patients. Despite the initial investment, the cost savings and enhanced safety provided by these technologies demonstrate that, in the realm of spinal surgery, “small is beautiful”. With minimally invasive procedures, patients can now experience shorter hospital stays and earlier mobilisation, making a positive impact on spinal healthcare in South Africa. caption goes here BY SHAUN SMILLIE

Advancing Healthcare Not everyone can see beyond what is, to what could be. It takes vision. Imagination. Innovation. It takes working together, and pushing beyond ourselves and our limits, to build a better future. See possibilities. We do. www.hasa.co.za It depends how you look at it.
PRESS ROOM PATIENT-CENTRED CARE MEANS AVOIDING UNNECESSARY RISK-TAKING At the Hospital Association of South Africa (Hasa), we believe that there is an art to seeing beyond what is, to what could be. It’s not always easy. And it takes more than just practice. Any healthcare reforms, including the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI), must have high-quality patient care as the primary objective. This motivation lies behind the Hospital Association of South Africa (Hasa) urging that some objectives in the NHI Bill need revisiting. For instance, if the proposed Fund experiences financial problems in the future, these will affect all healthcare institutions on the frontlines and impact patient care directly. If we are serious about patient-centric care, we must pay attention to the design and oversight of the proposed Fund. It is better to anticipate the risks to the Fund exhaustively and take appropriate precautions to protect it to avoid putting patients at risk. We resolutely urge amendments to the Bill in two key respects. FIRST, it is sadly undeniable that our economy faces massive challenges that will persist for many years into the future, even if we take bold and decisive actions now. The structural reforms we need will take years to complete, and the investments in energy, water, transport and healthcare infrastructure will place a heavy load on the national purse for the foreseeable future. We can ignore all this, plough into dangerous waters, and expose the country to even more danger, or we can be prudent and gather together around national priorities that everyone can buy into, and the country can afford. Therefore, to avoid future disruptions to frontline healthcare operations, a single-payer of the healthcare needs of all South Africans and the marginalisation of medical schemes is unwise. Instead, adopt a multi-payer system to alleviate future healthcare funding needs and reduce the potential burden on the National Health Insurance. This step alone dramatically improves the chances of achieving healthcare reform and expanding universal healthcare. Introducing a multi-payer system reduces future economic risk. It helps manage risks to patient care as the country works to recover from difficult times and reposition itself for future growth. SECONDLY, we must build trust to ensure reforms are successful. Thankfully, the government and business leaders are doing great work towards achieving this, but we are not there yet. It is unhelpful to the reform process to hear accusations that thousands of highly dedicated private medical professionals are less motivated to deliver care than profit. Statements to this effect are ill-advised. Trust requires that we listen to each other so that the best ideas that serve all in our land survive. The downside is partisan rancour, gridlock, and obstruction. We must bypass this negativity. An excellent place to begin to build trust is to attend to the governance of the proposed Fund. It would help to constitute governance structures and processes that demonstrate what we have learned from the many years of state capture and endemic corruption that have brought the spectre of opportunism on a grand scale to the fore through procurement and administrative fraud. It is simply not enough to charge South Africans to ignore what has blighted their lives and caused untold misery. Trust must be earned, and it can be if the message sent to South Africa by the Presidency and the Cabinet is that power will no longer be allowed to accumulate in one person’s hand or in the hands of those who can, as they have for years now, pilfer the money pot. To this end, we advocate for the scrutiny of the governance structures to protect the Fund and the minister of health and to ensure the continued and uninterrupted care of patients when they need us most.

Since inception in 1904, the heart of Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital has been to heal the sick and help regain their health. This year, children in need were at the core of the hospital’s drive to help the vulnerable in our society. When the staff of the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital visited the Jakaranda Children’s home on Mandela Day they soon learnt the orphanage had a pressing issue. The purpose of the visit was to hand out cold drinks and doughnuts to the home’s staff and children, as well as to support the home’s Good Sox campaign. The need for medical care for some of the children became apparent during the first visit to the orphanage and the wheels were set in motion. Ear, nose and throat specialist Dr Nina du Toit examined the children at the orphanage that sits north of the city in Derdepoort. On 13 September, eight children were admitted to Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital. Understandably the children were apprehensive, but it was here where the staff stepped in to ease their fear as they prepped them for surgery. The team spent the whole day in surgery, inserting grommets and removing tonsils. It all turned out a success and the young patients were met with a surprise when they woke up after surgery. Each child discovered that they had been left a gift – a pair of earphones. Sr Antasha Brits of the Jakaranda Children’s Home, in a letter of gratitude to the hospital, wrote of how impressed she was with the “synchronised professionalism” – the way in which the children were handled and how each was made to feel comfortable. Brits praised all the staff, including the porters who like everyone else gave up their Saturday. “Over the past ten days, the dedication was evident as they rallied around a child from the ICU to Ward M, ensuring her recovery,” she wrote. “You made a significant difference to eight children’s health.” The staff and the specialists associated with the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital have a long tradition of reaching out and providing care for the less privileged. It is a tradition that goes back nearly 120 years to when the Pretoria hospital opened its doors and began serving the citizens of the city. Back then, the hospital had just six beds and a handful of caring nurses. Today the non-profit private hospital has 181 beds and employs more than 430 staff. The care that the hospital extended to the Jakaranda children’s home SPECIAL FEATURE ZUID-AFRIKAANS HOSPITAL'S COMPASSIONATE CARE: A TOUCHING TALE OF HEALING AND GIVING BACK This year, through working with Operation Healing Hands, the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital was able to treat 20 children with heart defects. BY SHAUN SMILLIE 18 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE
was just one of several initiatives the facility got involved in this year. As in years past the hospital worked with Operation Healing Hands, an organisation that provides lifechanging surgeries for patients who do not have medical funding for treatment at private hospitals. While working with Operation Healing Hands, the medical specialists give their time for free and the hospital writes off the theatre and hospital costs. Together with Operation Healing Hands, the hospital took part in the 2023 Congenital Heart Disease Campaign. Vertice MedTech sponsored the Patent ductus arteriosus closure devices used in the surgery to close cardiac defects. The Congenital Heart Disease Campaign treated 20 children this year through the joint Zuid -Afrikaans Hospital, Vertice and Operation Healing Hands initiative. Some of the children had been on waiting lists at other hospitals. As Professor Lindy Mitchell, the paediatric cardiologist who performs the surgeries wrote in an article for the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital’s internal newsletter, “Our greatest reward is seeing these tired sickly children transform into energetic little hooligans, running up and down the hospital passages in their Spiderman or Batman T-shirts, and watching them over the years as they grow to their full potential.” She and her staff plan to help as many children with heart defects as possible. The collaboration between Operation Healing Hands and Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital didn’t just assist children with heart operations. During the course of the year, adult patients also received much needed surgeries that included hip replacements, Achilles tendon lengthening and knee arthroscopy. This year it wasn’t just about helping patients in the theatre: the staff of the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital also responded to the call for collected donations that included foodstuffs and clothing for a variety of projects. One of these projects included the needs of the victims of Cyclone Freddy that struck Malawi, killing nearly 1,500 people and leaving half a million displaced. The donations were handed over to the Malawi Consulate in Pretoria on 14 April. They further supported food donations for NPOs such as Lucy’s Den and other initiatives during their Kindness Campaign. At the heart of the Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital’s initiative to help the less fortunate are its staff, who are driven through their passion and desire to help. At the bottom of a stairwell in the hospital is a tribute to the very staff who are the backbone of the hospital: a two-metre high bronze statue of a nurse, a symbol of honour and recognition that was designed by sculptor Angus Taylor. Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital is the first hospital to honour its nurses in this manner, nurses who have given so much to their patients both in and outside of the hospital. Through centuries Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital has proven its commitment to provide compassionate care not only to its patients, but to the community. Through partnerships with non-profit healthcare organisations, specialists and medical technology providers, it has provided life-changing surgeries to South Africans in desperate need of medical expertise and heartfelt support. The compassionate and family ethos is deeply rooted in the hospital’s history and will continue to be carried forward in each response of care. Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital recognises each person who goes above and beyond the call of duty, to care for the community they serve, in and outside the hospital.

20 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE When Arwyp Medical Centre decided they wanted to make a change for good, they turned to the community their hospital serves – the Kempton Park CBD in Ekurhuleni. “We engaged some of our shareholders, mainly doctors and patients, about their concerns and what should change, and they mentioned safety and security around the hospital,” said Dr Zecharai Esterhuizen, the CEO of Arwyp. For starters, the hospital got involved with the Kempton Park Clean up the City project, which was launched in 2022 with the aim of cleaning up the city centre through a collaboration of local businesses in the area. Arwyp Medical Centre, as the only private hospital in Kempton Park, makes monthly contributions towards the salaries of the cleaners and the equipment. But the hospital felt they could do more for the CBD and recently began looking at launching a rather unusual initiative. “In terms of improving security in the area we are engaging the municipality to see if we can connect the robots and street lights surrounding the hospital to our generators, to provide perimeter lighting and contribute to safety during loadshedding,” explained Esterhuizen. As with other areas of South Africa, the City of Kempton Park has an unemployment problem, particularly among the youth. To help address this, Arwyp – together with the Edu Power Skills Academy – have introduced a programme that provides training to 12 disabled students from the community. Through the programme, the students receive training in business administration and after they have finished the year-long course, they are guaranteed employment at Edu Power’s call centre. Earlier this year Arwyp turned to their community again, this time as they went searching for a new owner for their on-site gift shop, Cotton Tails. The previous owner had retired, and the idea was to find a young entrepreneur from the Kempton Park area and give them the opportunity to kickstart their career. To help find a suitable candidate, the hospital enlisted the help of several BEE companies, and after a thorough selection process they settled on Nobuhle Nene. Nene took over the shop on 1 April 1 2023. To support her, the company decided to donate the opening stock and waived the rental fee for the first year. “And she has been running the shop well. She’s doing excellently with the skill sets that she’s been given. And the shop is making a nice turnover,” said Esterhuizen. Another initiative this year saw the hospital giving back to the healthcare profession by offering 10 bursaries to unemployed students. These bursaries allowed them to attend the Arwyp Training Institute. “We usually take deserving Arwyp Medical Centre has initiated a wide range of projects to uplift the Kempton Park CBD. SPECIAL FEATURE
HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE 21 unemployed students who don’t have any means to be able to do this,” said Esterhuizen. “And we try afterwards to employ them.” The institute offers a Higher Certificate in Nursing and the Diploma in Nursing and has been around since 2001. Also on offer were bursaries for 10 students enrolled in the Higher Certificate in Nursing programme, which allows them to qualify as Nursing Auxiliaries. Arwyp also offered 10 bursaries to second-year students enrolled into the Diploma in Nursing. The Institute also received bursaries from other private hospitals. Part of the programme is to offer opportunities to male students to enter the nursing profession. This year the institute assisted the South African Nursing Council when they made a donation to the annual Madiba Day project. The Arwyp Training Institute was also involved in providing help to premature babies and their families, through their Preemie Stitch-it Forward Project. In November last year nearly 2,000 items of clothing were collected through this project and donated to a number of private and government institutions. And there were other projects too that both the Arwyp Medical Centre and Training Institute participated in. They included organising events such as World AIDS Day, blood drives and other health days. It is during these events that they focused on screening for conditions such as hypertension, tuberculosis, diabetes, and HIV. Uplifting the community also this year meant looking after the environment too. In March, Arwyp, working with medical supply company Fresenius developed a green waste disposal project. To get it to work, cleaners and nursing staff underwent training to learn how to correctly dispose of medical waste. They learnt that instead of throwing everything away together, waste had to be separated at the source. For one, drip bags had to be carefully placed in separate containers, and this separated waste is then collected and sent for incineration. It all makes for not only easier waste handling but also disposal. And, from the ashes emerge eco-friendly briquettes that can be used to fire braais, which in turn eliminates the need for landfill disposal. In the future other projects are planned. “We will start here and slowly expand within the CBD and work our way out. And then hopefully, we can make a positive impact in Kempton Park itself,” said Esterhuizen. ARWYP MEDICAL CENTRE: CHARITY BEGINS IN THE COMMUNITY YOU SERVE BY SHAUN SMILLIE
22 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE The JMH Group also provided donations for food hampers in partnership with the Jyoti Jivanam Movement of South Africa, a nonprofit organisation that provides food parcels to the disadvantaged. This was just another initiative spearheaded by doctors who reached out to JMH for assistance. The generous donation will also assist Jyoti Jivanam reach their goal of helping more than 115,000 families in 2023. In total, the JMH Group has seven healthcare facilities across KwaZulu-Natal, and to the north of the province is the Richards Bay Medical Institute. In partnership with the Do I Care Enough (D.I.C.E) organisation’s fundraiser, the hospital donated blankets as part of the Winter Warmer campaign to oncology patients. Most of these patients travel long distances, often in cold weather to get to the hospital to receive their treatment at the Richards Bay Medical Institute. D.I.C.E organisation’s fundraising supports charities who assist cancer patients. KwaZulu-Natal experienced three bad years brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the July riots of 2021 and the floods of last year. These events have rippled through the economy, leaving some of the province’s poorest citizens struggling to make ends meet. To continue to help those in need, the Joint Medical Holdings (JMH) Group undertook a number of initiatives this year to assist the communities in which they operate. As in times gone by, many of the JMH outreach initiatives that were launched to help communities were guided by the doctors who work in association with the various hospitals, and who often see first-hand what is needed. One such campaign involved the donation of wheelchairs to the A.M. Moolla Spes Nova School in Phoenix, Durban. The school is a public facility for special needs children that caters for 350 learners who have cerebral palsy, physical disabilities, autism and learning disabilities. In the past the school’s dire shortage of wheelchairs meant that learners were forced to share.

HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE 23 NELSON MANDELA DAY ACTIVITIES This year’s Mandela Day saw JMH hospitals reach out with numerous initiatives. These included soup kitchens provided by Ascot Park Hospital and the handing over of much needed operational items to the Makabongwe Methodist Preschool, by City Hospital, that is located just two blocks away from the medical facility. Then there were donations of blankets, clothes and toys to the Mother of Peace Children’s Home in Illovo , donated by Isipingo Hospital. Durdoc Hospital visited the KZN Children’s Hospital for a welfare day and handed out food hampers to patients and parents. In keeping with the love that Madiba had for children, perhaps the most important part of each of the JMH initiatives was spending quality time with the children at each of the organisations visited. The Joint Medical Holdings Group was formed to provide superior medical care to the community and in doing so, alleviate suffering. Their hospitals include, Ascot Park Hospital, City Hospital, Durdoc Hospital, Isipingo Hospital, Richards Bay Medical Institute, Ribumed Day Hospital Glenwood and Ribumed Day Hospital Ballito.

At Grey’s hospital in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, the numbers kept climbing. The number of needed spinal scoliosis surgeries were growing as reduced capacity at the public hospital was adding to the backlog of waiting procedures. But then Mediclinic South Africa heard of this growing backlog and they decided they would like to collaborate with the public sector to reduce the backlogs. They would provide the orthopaedic surgeon from Grey’s with the theatre time, the equipment and the consumables needed for the operations – all for free. When Mediclinic got involved, this particular waiting list stood at 26 operations. Through the course of the year that number has whittled away and now there are just a handful of operations on that list that should be cleared very soon. What happened at Grey hospital is part of an endeavour by Mediclinic Southern Africa to broaden access to healthcare services and improve the lives of those in need. So far this year Mediclinic Southern Africa has provided over 219 pro bono procedures across eight provinces. It is all part of a three-tiered corporate social investment (CSI) strategy that aims to not only clear procedure waiting lists in the public sector, but also assist communities through a volunteer system. The initiative at Grey’s is part of the first tier of Mediclinic’s CSI programme, which aims at establishing partnerships with provincial public health departments to assist improving the quality of health care across the country. This tier accounts for 95% of Mediclinic’s CSI’s budget. Between 2018 and March 2023 this programme was responsible for 808 free surgeries, at a cost of R15.6 million. What made this more remarkable, is that sandwiched in-between was the COVID-19 pandemic, where from March 2020 to August 2021 no pro bono surgeries were preformed. Doctors associated with Mediclinic donated 4,000 hours of their time while preforming procedures that ranged from cataract removals and reconstructing cleft palates, to cardiothoracic and emergency surgeries. “We partner with South African Society of Anaesthesiologists, and their members gave up their time for free as well. We pay for all the consumables, so it’s completely free of cost to the state,” says Bob Govender, Mediclinic’s industry affairs executive, Also, as part of their outreach programme during 2022, ER24, which is a part of Mediclinic South Africa, transported approximately 7,383 lower-income patients, which meant that paramedics spent more than 6,000 hours, travelling approximately 185,000km to serve these patients. SPECIAL FEATURE A broad base of initiatives aims to improve access to healthcare services for those in need. To help reduce the waiting list at Grey’s Hospital, Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg organised for Dr Alberto Puddu to perform surgeries at their hospital. 24 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE
ER24 were also involved in providing free trauma counselling services to pupils. So far they have counselled 2,500 pupils at three schools. “So, what we do is we engage at the provincial level, and we try and understand what backlogs exist in different provinces,” explains Govender. Then the plan is to find a collaborative workable solution. It was while identifying backlog problems in KwaZulu-Natal, that the team at Mediclinic Southern Africa found that Grey’s Hospital also had a growing urology surgery waiting list. Included on this backlog list were children who would have to wait years for their procedure. Working the same way as with the spinal scoliosis surgeries, Mediclinic Southern Africa is aiming to perform 150 urology surgeries by July next year. Some of the success that Mediclinic has had through their partnerships with provincial health departments this year thus far has included: • 32 cataract procedures • 15 ENT procedures • 153 gynaecological procedures • 7 keratoplasty procedures • 6 maxillofacial procedures • 38 orthopaedic procedures • 13 general surgical procedures • 11 urological procedures These procedures were completed in five provinces: • Free State • Gauteng, • KwaZulu-Natal • Northern Cape • Western Cape Tier 2 of Mediclinic Southern Africa’s CSI programme involves donating to non-government, private voluntary and community based organisations. Part of this programme is providing obsolete furniture and equipment to these organisations. So far they have donated R40 million worth to 508 such organisations. Mediclinic Southern Africa has also given R1 million to the Ring for Peach Cape Trust partnership, which works to end gender-based violence. This part of their CSI programme does not just focus on health, but also on the environment, education and welfare. The final tier involves the staff volunteering their time to community projects. One such campaign is the Santa Shoe Box, which provides Christmas gifts to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. They are also involved in a partnership with the NGO Rise Against Hunger, which provides packed meals. “They pack meals that can sustain a family of four for a day. We try and do about 130,000 meals a year,” Govender says. Next year Mediclinic South Africa hopes, through their continuing initiatives, to help even more of the country’s citizens and by doing so, create an environment where everyone thrives. BY SHAUN SMILLIE MEDICLINIC: PRO BONO WORK CUT HUNDREDS OF BACKLOGGED SURGERIES Mediclinic South Africa has an initiative where they provide the theatre time, the equipment and the consumables needed for the operations to help state hospitals reduce surgery backlogs.

26 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE standards, ensuring that babies are kept safe. Donor breast milk is after all a human tissue, and as such, patient safety is a priority. This system also allows for babies to receive milk that matches as closely as possible to the recipient’s age. Ncelisa will be growing next year. The Netcare Foundation is not only funding and overseeing the installation of a Ncelisa Milk Bank at the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH), they will be financing and overseeing the running of the milk bank as well. Operationally, Netcare will thus have six milk banks. The long-term goal will be to ensure that the RMMCH Ncelisa Milk Bank will receive donor breast milk from numerous public sector hospitals, process and store it, then dispatch the milk to those hospitals – a ripple effect that has the potential to touch the lives of many babies at numerous public sector hospitals. The Ncelisa Human Milk Bank is one of the projects run by the Netcare Foundation, which falls under the organisation’s Corporate Social Investment programme. As with the milk bank initiative a lot of the Netcare Foundation’s work is in providing holistic care for babies. “The Ncelisa Milk Bank represents only a small portion of what we’re doing for better babies,” says Toubkin. “We know that if you Nurses have a nickname for the milk that keeps their most vulnerable patients alive: they call it liquid gold. They are referring to the donated human breast milk that is available in the Ncelisa Human Milk Banks, processed and ready for administration to eligible babies. This milk is used to feed premature babies whose biological mothers are unable to provide breastmilk for their own babies. Additionally, the Ncelisa Milk Bank will provide donor breast milk to orphaned and abandoned babies when the need arises. The milk bank makes this milk available through the Netcare Foundation. Through this programme, donors can provide milk at 30 collection sites and five banks. “It is the philosophy of the Netcare Foundation to ensure that 33% of our recipients are public sector recipients,” explains Mande Toubkin, director of the Netcare Foundation. The milk is given to all recipients at no cost. A-state-of-the-art digital system tracks and traces all the details of the donation, from the moment a donor is recruited, through to the processing and storage of the milk, and includes all the details of the eligible recipient to whom the milk is administered. This system ensures conformance to the highest safety SPECIAL FEATURE NETCARE: THE GOLD THAT KEEPS THE MOST VULNERABLE ALIVE Donated breast milk is one of a number of interventions that ensure newly born babies get the very best start possible.
HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE 27 feed breastmilk to babies you get physical growth and lifesaving immunity. But it is also important to keep newborns warm and facilitate skin-to-skin contact with their mothers, not only in the first hour after birth, but for as long as mother and baby are comfortable doing skin-to-skin or kangaroo mother care. This is especially true for babies admitted to neonatal intensive care units. Both mother and baby benefit when a baby is placed on the mother’s chest, or the father’s, for that matter. An incubator is not always the best place for a newly born baby: they want and need to be touched.” Another initiative involves babies and reading. Research has found that the sound of a parent’s voice benefits a newly born baby cognitively. To encourage reading to babies in a NICU, Netcare partnered with Tiffini and Richard Hein, who launched Archie’s Archives, in memory of their precious son, Archie. “Archie’s Archives encourage parents to read to their babies as a way of escape from the sometimes extremely overwhelming intensive care environment. In addition to enhancing bonding between baby and parents, it also provides language nutrition, which increases cognitive function,” says Verena Bolton, the National Coordinator of the Netcare Ncelisa Human Milk Banks. Another important area of focus for the Netcare Foundation is assisting in the fight against gender-based violence. All of Netcare’s emergency departments have rape crisis centres that provide trauma support. But recently Toubkin and her colleagues discovered that there is a vulnerable sector of the population that sometimes experiences violence that goes unnoticed: the deaf community. To provide help for this community, they teamed up with the Centre for Deaf Studies at Wits University in an effort to help any deaf survivors of sexual assault that arrive at the hospitals. “Professor Claudine Storbeck told us that many within the deaf community experience genderbased violence and they are being abused by the people they trust the most, who are often in their family. The problem is that they can’t tell anyone about this,” says Toubkin. This led to a programme sponsored through the Mother and Child Trust, who provided funds to have staff trained in sign language for effective communication with deaf patients. “So now a deaf victim can feel comfortable, secure and well-protected coming to any of our facilities,” says Toubkin. Another arm of the Netcare Foundation is to provide access to healthcare for disadvantaged individuals and communities in the form of interventional surgery for certain conditions such as: craniofacial; cleft lip and palate; cochlear implant; cataract and vascular conditions. Their craniofacial programme has helped several beneficiaries who presented with abnormalities of the head, face and neck, through a team of plastic surgeons affiliated to the Netcare Foundation. These surgeons also operate on children requiring repair of a cleft lip and palate and the results are hugely successful. But there is more to it than just providing the surgery. “What is important with the foundation is that we have a strict follow-up regime so that the beneficiaries are not just operated on and left to their own devices. The after-care includes a number of other service providers who play a huge role in their rehabilitation,” says Toubkin. The Netcare Foundation is also the only hospital group to offer pro bono cochlear implant programmes, a procedure that is costly due to the cochlear device itself. It is truly rewarding to witness the child hearing for the first time, and once again, allied health professionals play a vital role in the ongoing rehabilitation of these beneficiaries. Through their Gift of Sight (cataract) programme the Netcare Foundation continues to receive numerous applications on a daily basis and has thus become the busiest programme, mainly because this is a problem that affects 800,000 South Africans. A minor operation reverses blindness and once again the recipients have their sight back. “It is all about providing that ‘Ripple of Hope’ care that makes a difference in someone’s life,” says Toubkin.

28 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE TCCFA believes that with every mended heart they inch closer to a brighter future, of an Africa where children’s lives are not limited by congenital heart disease. Lenmed’s support to this partnership has included almost R10 million in discounted fees and pro bono cases which has been instrumental in enabling TCCFA. The patient selection process is done through a careful review by a panel of expert doctors from the state sector. Only the most critical cases are prioritised, ensuring that limited resources are utilised efficiently. Lenmed’s work with TCCFA touches children across the continent but most of their corporate social investment initiatives are closer to home and that are born out of a philosophy that goes back to the early days of Lenmed. This was when a group of doctors got together and decided they had to do something for their marginalised communities. That decision was to raise funds and build a healthcare facility that catered for Lenasia, Soweto and surrounds. Now 40 years later Lenmed continues a tradition where they support those communities they serve. To do this they have teamed up with many community-based, credible organisations. These have included cataract In the coming months Lenmed and the Children’s Cardiac Foundation of Africa hope to breach an important milestone when they reach a hundred lifesaving surgeries before the close of the financial year. Each pro bono procedure is heart surgery for a child who usually would not have access to such medical care, and it is courtesy of a collaboration between Lenmed and Children’s Cardiac Foundation of Africa (TCCFA). This partnership began in 2018 when TCCFA was established within Lenmed. It was the brainchild of renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Rob Kinsley, who decided that he would start the nonprofit organisation with a simple premise in that he envisioned a future where no child's life would be cut short due to lack of access to specialised cardiac care. It is part of a mission by both organisations to transform the lives of these patients with congenital heart disease so that they can thrive and reach their full potential. surgeries to non-insured patients, and donations and sponsorships. Through a partnership with Pinkdrive, Lenmed has helped provide free cancer screening across the country with a particular focus on breast cancer. Recently they made a contribution towards new equipment. With the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, Lenmed is working towards the eradication of racism and has got involved in a number of projects. The latest is a computer skills training course geared for the youth in the community. Through enhancing both the health and prosperity of the communities they serve, Lenmed believes they do, by creating healthier individuals, contribute to household and community prosperity “Lenmed was started by the community, for the community. We carry this spirit as the fabric of what we do as we continue on our mission to create healthier and prosperous communities. It is this type of work that is needed now more than ever and is a principle to which we remain committed – it will drive us to do better, as we strive to make a tangible positive difference to the social imperatives facing us as a Country,” says Lenmed’s CEO, Amil Devchand. BY SHAUN SMILLIE SPECIAL FEATURE LENMED: EACH MENDED HEART AN INCH CLOSER TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE Lenmed’s philosophy of service was born out of a 40-year-old commitment to the communities the hospital group was created to serve.

30 HASA PULSE #4 THE INVESTING IN SOUTH AFRICA ISSUE Netcare is spearheading climate change solutions in the SA healthcare sector It has been estimated that the ecological footprint of healthcare providers worldwide is equivalent to 4.4% of global net emissions. If the health sector globally were a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter on the planet. The Netcare Group’s environmental sustainability investment represents Africa’s largest healthcare environmental sustainability programme. Since 2013, we have emphasised improving energy efficiency at our facilities throughout South Africa, implementing more than 204 environmental sustainability projects. “By the end of FY2022, we achieved a 35% energy intensity reduction per hospital bed, surpassing the original target of 22-25% set for 2023. Netcare has eliminated R1.204bn in energy, water, and waste costs since 2013 to date,” says Jacques du Plessis, managing director of Netcare’s hospital division. Last year, for the third consecutive year, Netcare was awarded gold medals in all four categories of the prestigious 2022 Global Health Care Climate Challenge Awards. The gold medals for greenhouse gas reduction, renewable energy, climate resilience, and climate leadership were awarded by Global Green and Healthy Hospitals, a Health Care Without Harm initiative. “Looking to the future, we have set ambitious targets which include purchasing 100% of our energy from renewable energy sources, zero waste to landfill and a 20% reduction in our water utilisation by 2030, striving to first do no harm [as per the Hippocratic oath committed to by healthcare workers] while continuing to find ways to become part of the solution the urgent climate crisis demands.” Operational savings Netcare’s environmental sustainability initiatives achieved cumulative operational savings of just over R1 billion by the end of the 2022 financial year, yielding an internal rate of return of more than 25%. Had Netcare not embarked on this environmental sustainability programme, its electricity cost over this past financial year alone would have been some R598 million, compared with the R386 million that was incurred.
