Part of what makes Project Flamingo so special, is the amazing people behind the scenes who give up their time to help others. One of these special people is Dr Nkosilathi Dlodlo, one of our East London anaesthetists🦩 Read his story below ⬇️ facebook.com/share/p/2i541yc…

Fantastic weekend tripled! 🦩 Join us behind the scenes to see part of the magic that happens with our team at Livingstone Hospital in Gqeberha. Yesterday was a day filled with purpose at three hospitals we operate at. Livingstone joined George & GSH in a triple Flamingo weekend.

The selfless contributions of everyone involved is simply incredible – from our compassionate patient support team to the dedicated volunteer surgeons and anaesthetists, the amazing nursing staff, and even down to the baristas and the creators of handmade cards.

Celebration day! 🔥 Today seems fitting to celebrate our PF teams at 4 hospitals who gave it their all over the past 2 weekends while Amabokoboko did just the same🙌 We cannot help but draw some parallels to the battle on the field and the battle our patients face on a daily.

It’s called grit. It’s called luck. It’s called a miracle. But above all, it is GRACE. Thank you, Amabokoboko for reminding us, no less than 3 times in a row that Grace is a patient but ever-present force. Just when we think it is impossible, Grace brings possible.

Just when we think we cannot go one more step, Grace carries us for the only step necessary. May we not forget this lesson in Grace. For ourselves, whatever our story. And for our country, because together we can write a beautiful story. Stronger. Together. By Grace.

Thank you to our teams for your heart, your compassion, and for pitching up for the most vulnerable amongst us. “Great things are never achieved in ideal conditions.” - Coach Rassie

Early detection 💯 Checking for changes in your breasts by regular self-examination is a great tool for early detection. When? ⏰️📆 Do this 4 days after your cycle (if you have a regular one) or on the 1st of every month.

What do I do if I find something? 🩺 ANY changes should be discussed with your doctor. Do not ignore any lumps or signs. Share 💕 Tag some of your #breastfriends in the comments to share this with. 🦩 #breatscancerawareness #selfchecks #boobtober #breastcancermonth

The month of October highlights the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness, now officially the most common cancer in the world, surpassing lung cancer according the WHO. The latest international health statistics indicate that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
