Life Anncron Hospital’s resident cardiologist and specialist physician, Dr Don Zachariah, has successfully performed the first mechanical coronary thrombectomy in the province. A thrombectomy is a procedure to remove a blood clot (thrombus) from a blood vessel. It is commonly performed in the cerebral arteries. Mechanical thrombectomy is an interventional procedure that uses a device to remove the clot. Surgical thrombectomy is a type of surgery that removes the clot from inside an artery or vein. This milestone underscores the cardiology team’s dedication to providing cutting-edge cardiac care to the community. Dr Zachariah is second from left.

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - It was a celebration of note when Build It Plus in Klerksdorp handed a bright red Hyundai i10 to one of its clients.

Staff and family ululated the handover, with Mapaseka’s smile almost going right around her face. She stays in Orkney and bought material for her home in Khuma when she entered the competition.
