Lenmed hosts pregnancy awareness event

Lenmed Private Hospital recently hosted a pregnancy awareness event for soon-to-be moms.

Besides sharing some health tips, Lancet Laboratories and Pathcare set up stalls to give away all sorts of gifts for attendees.

Programme director Tsholofelo Radebe first welcomed everyone and unit manager of the maternity ward, Ntaoleng Mazini, explained the importance of the event.

Physiotherapist Stella Tobias continued the afternoon’s informative session by sharing insight regarding pregnancy physiotherapy.

Stella emphasised that pregnant women do need the assistance of a physiotherapist after giving birth since it helps to reduce pain in the main joints that are commonly strained during pregnancy.

Thereafter, gynaecologist Yves Kakudji explained the benefits of visiting the gynaecologists throughout the three trimesters. He also spoke about the importance of antenatal care, which is the health care of pregnant women before the birth of their babies.

Light snacks were also served during the informative speeches. The attending women stood a chance to win a gift if they answered a few questions correctly.
