Lowveld in focus!

We have been quietly busy in Mpumalanga over the last few weeks,

Yesterday a 3 year old boy received his second surgery to his hand at Busamed Lowveld Private Hospital in Nelspruit. Thank you once again Dr’s Schoeman and Schoeman for your very kind assistance to this young boy and to Busamed Lowveld Private Hospital in Nelspruit.

We received another very generous precooked porridge donation from Crossing Centre Nelspruit in the form of 40 x 5kg bags of porridge, that was delivered to Katoen care centre in White River! How absolutely awesome is that!!

We wish to thank Nelspruit Crossing Centre the centre that is the of Nelspruit, that continues to supports Pediatric Care Africa and the on-going nutritional and healthcare outreaches done by Dr Andre Hattingh, the PCA Team and the many medical professionals and volunteers involved.

Thank you very much Crossing Nelspruit and Dr’s Schoeman who made all of this possible, we appreciate you much more than you will ever know.

A heartfelt thank you from the mum of the little boy we helped yesterday:

“Thank you for giving my son a chance for a better life I will forever be greatful"
Marcela Aminosje - Mother of Bento Elias

"Obrigado por dar ao meu filho uma chance para uma vida melhor, sou eternamente grato".

OUDTSHOORN NUUS - Meer as 8 000...

Medical Outreach!

We held a medical and dental outreach at the Vlakteplaas primary school about 60km outside of Oudtshoorn on the Willowmore road on Saturday the 8th November 2025.

We reached our 8000th patient mark that received free medical care during one of our medical outreaches, which is a remarkable achievement to us.

A quick calculation on the actual monetary value of the Medical treatment and consultation costs if we had to take these 8000 persons to private GP’s and pay their consultations, medication and tests with an average R950-00 cost to Pediatric Care Africa per patient, the cost to Pediatric Care Africa would be R7 600 000-00 (Seven million six hundred thousand rand)

Thank you very much to our volunteer GP’s Dr. Steve Mcnally of Mossel Bay, Dr. Anso Killian of De Rust and Dr. Karla Talbot of Oudtshoorn for taking such good care of our patients and the Dental team under Dr Chanel Biljohn who assisted 30 patients with their dental complaints.

Demorian and her formidable team from the Oudtshoorn Executive Mayor Johan Allers - Greater Oudtshoorn Municipality office, who kept every patient and volunteer well fed and hydrated in the 36 degrees temperature, last but definitely not least, all the volunteers who took care of all the admin, patient registration and medication dispensing from our mobile Pharmacy.

You are true hero’s to all that you have helped

Phase 1 of our Malaria prevention project!!!

We have completed the first fase of our malaria prevention project in Mpumalanga and Limpopo in malaria high risk areas.

400 families received mosquito nets and enough mosquito repellent to last each family the entire summer season.

Hanging all the mosquito nets and reaching persons in very rural areas was quit a task...!

Malaria is a deadly disease and especialy the very small children are very vulnerable and must be protected.

Successful Thumb duplication surgery!!

A baby boy - that was brought to us by healthcare workers at ASM Clinic in Msholozi - received a successful Preaxial polydactyly thumb surgery to his left hand to correct a thumb duplication at Busamed Lowveld Private Hospital in Nelspruit, meaning he was born with 2 thumbs on his left hand. The medical term for a baby born with a double thumb, or an extra thumb on one or both hands, is thumb duplication or pre-axial polydactyly. Polydactyly, in general, refers to the presence of extra fingers or toes.

Thumb polydactyly reconstruction aims to create a single, functional, and cosmetically acceptable thumb from a duplicated thumb by removing the less desirable thumb and reconstructing the remaining one. This involves careful assessment, surgical techniques to address bone, soft tissue, and joint issues, and meticulous postoperative care.

We wish to thank Busamed Lowveld Private Hospital in Nelspruit, the Lowveld Medical Arts & Culture Society and Dr’s Schoeman and Schoeman who performed the surgery on our young patient.
Thank you very much for all involved for your total dedication and care towards this little baby boy.
