Resilient Doctor’s Rehabilitation Journey, Nurturing Hope for Recovery and Renewed Abilities
Londiwe Ntshangase, a 33-year-old medical doctor in an anaesthesia specialist program, encountered a sudden illness in 2023, leaving her in ICU on life support since early August. This condition caused severe disabilities, rendering her unable to perform daily tasks, speak, or walk due to losing functionality on her right side. Currently reliant on a tracheostomy for breathing and unable to swallow, she requires total parenteral nutrition. Her depleted medical aid and financial constraints hinder her access to necessary care and rehabilitation, impacting her recovery. Funds are being raised to aid her rehabilitation, cover essentials like adult diapers and specialized feeds, and assist her family’s day-to-day needs. The goal is to support her recovery and potential return to medical practice.
