24.01.2022 NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (2019-nCoV) What is this virus? Coronaviruses can make humans and animals sick. Some coronaviruses can cause illness similar to the common cold and others can cause more serious diseases, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).... How is the virus spread? Most people who were infected live in, or have travelled to, Wuhan, China. There have been some cases of 2019-nCoV reported in other Chinese provinces and other countries. It is likely that the virus originally came from an animal, and there is some evidence that it can spread from person to person. The virus is most likely to spread from person to person through: direct contact with a person whilst they are infectious contact with droplets when a person with a confirmed infection coughs or sneezes; or touching objects or surfaces (such as door knobs or tables) that were contaminated by droplets from secretions coughed or sneezed from a person with a confirmed infection, and then touching your mouth or face. Close contacts of a person with a confirmed infection (such as people staying in the same house or sharing a closed space for a prolonged length of time) are most at risk of infection. What are the symptoms? Symptoms can include (but are not limited to) fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, and/or shortness of breath. What happens now? Your doctor will arrange for you to be tested for the infection. It may take a few days for the test results to be returned. If your symptoms are serious you will remain in hospital isolated from other patients to prevent further spread of the virus. If your doctor says you are well enough to return home while you are waiting for your test results: remain in your home and do not attend work or school; wash your hands often with soap and water; cough and sneeze into your elbow; avoid cooking for or caring for other members of your household; and wear a mask if close contact with other people is unavoidable. Public Health officers will make contact with you each day to check on your condition and provide you with a phone number to contact if you have questions. Your family and other close contacts do not need to remain isolated unless they develop symptoms. If they develop symptoms, they must return home and contact the Public Health Unit.

23.01.2022 Our clinic offers Iron Infusions- Iron infusion is a procedure in which iron is delivered to your body intravenously, meaning into a vein through a needle. This method of delivering medication or supplementation is also known as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Iron infusions are usually prescribed by doctors to treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is typically treated with dietary changes and iron supplements that you take in pill form. In some cases, though, doctors may recommend iron infusions instead. This procedure is done by Dr Shaun Naidoo. If you would like to know more about the procedure, please give us a call and make an appt with Dr Naidoo to discuss any questions you may have
