Fond memories to look back on 10 years ago at
@CharlotteMaxJAH, Johannesburg, where I used to volunteer with
@SmileFundSA, shortly after I recovered from a deadly, antibiotic-resistant infection.
I was privileged to see facial reanimation surgery as a
#FacialDifference or facial reconstruction patient myself.
I learned so much from all these interns, doctors, hospital staff and fellow volunteers. Something I still treasure today as an
#AMR advocate.
I always value learning about the hard work that goes into changing and saving lives in healthcare, from beyond my patient bed. As a patient also in Charlotte Maxeke when I had the accident that changed me in many ways forever, I'll always be grateful to all those that worked hard to save my own life. There are some phenomenal people working against the odds for public health in SA.
