The Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria has become the first hospital in SA to be recognised with an international award for introducing new techniques and support-systems for managing their stroke patients better.
The hospital was awarded the international Angels Diamond Award by the World Stroke Organisation for its excellence in acute stroke care.
The initiative seeks to greatly reduce the burden of strokes for countless patients by working with hospitals to build an innovative network of stroke-ready hospitals worldwide, to reduce treatment delays and provide patients with the best acute stroke care. Steve Biko hospital CEO Dr Mathabo Mathebula said it was an honour for the hospital to be bestowed with such an award. “It is a great honour to be awarded Diamond Status for stroke management by the World Stroke Organisation.
"Our team aims to deliver continuous enhancements, and therefore, we have implemented training and aligned with international standards to ensure better care and support to reduce the burden of stroke that affects our communities,” said Kakaza.
