Mended Hearts programme returns to Life eNtabeni Hospital

LIFE eNtabeni Hospital, in partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, have announced the return of their Mended Hearts programme, which is aimed at educating the public on how to manage their health after experiencing a cardiac episode. This programme had to come to an end during Covid-19, which restricted the physical gathering of people, especially in hospitals.

A talk is set to take place on February 29 when they will commence their programme of educating the public on all things related to heart health and cardiac-related illnesses. The Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa (HASF) is the largest organisation in the country that advocates for the heart and its wellness through their many programmes.
