🏥 NEW: Little Care Hospital Companion Care

When your child is admitted to hospital, you naturally want someone trusted beside them - but sometimes work, other children and the need to rest make it impossible to remain at the bedside continuously.

A Little Care caregiver can stay with your child in hospital, providing:

• Comfort and companionship
• Play and age-appropriate activities
• Assistance with meals and basic personal care, where permitted
• Reassurance when you cannot be there
• Regular updates to parents
• Prompt communication with ward staff if your child needs assistance

Available shifts:

☀️ Day companionship: 08:00–16:00
🌙 Night companionship: 19:00–07:00
🤍 Short parent-relief shifts: minimum four hours

Our caregivers provide supportive companionship and do not replace the hospital’s nursing or medical team. All medication, clinical observations and treatment remain the responsibility of hospital staff.

Bookings are subject to caregiver availability and the hospital’s permission.

Contact Little Care on WhatsApp to enquire.

Little Care: care you can trust, when you need it most.

We've all heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine."

Well... not quite. Antibiotics are still much better for pneumonia 😉

But laughter does deserve more credit than we give it. A good laugh can lower stress, improve mood, relax tense muscles, and help us cope with difficult days.

One of my favourite parts of being a family doctor is getting to know people over time. Sometimes the most memorable part of a consultation isn't the prescription - it's the shared laugh.

Medicine is about more than treating illness. It's about caring for people, and sometimes a little humour is exactly what's needed.

So tell me... what never fails to make you laugh? 😊

It takes a village. But what happens when yours is scattered?
Grandma's in another city. Your sister has her own job to get to. Your friends are drowning in their own babies, deadlines, and busy lives.

Sometimes what you really need is just one more pair of hands you can trust.
Someone to sit with your sick little one when you can't miss another day of work. Someone to take the 2am shift so you can finally close your eyes.
Someone you'd actually trust to step in when your family needs a little extra care.

That's the village we're building.

Little Care
Doctor-led support for families, at home.

We are so excited to see Dr Selma Smit launch Little Care.

Little Care was created to provide compassionate support for families who need help caring for a sick child at home, or supporting parents after welcoming a baby.

While Little Care is an independent service, we believe it fills an important gap for many of the families we care for every day.

We're incredibly proud of Dr Selma and cannot wait to see Little Care grow!

Which contraceptive option is right for you?

There is no single "best" contraceptive, only the method that best suits your health, lifestyle and future family plans.

Some women prefer a daily pill, while others want a long-acting method they don't have to think about for years. Some need hormone-free contraception, while others benefit from hormonal methods that can improve heavy or painful periods.

This comparison is designed to give you an overview of the most common contraceptive options. A consultation with your healthcare provider can help you weigh the benefits, risks and suitability of each method.

At SmartCare Medical, we're here to help you make an informed decision that works for you.
