Dear Shareholder

Your hospital opened it ’s doors on the 3rd Apri l 2017 bringing a dream to reality. It has been a low key opening to ensure all the teething problems were resolved before we reach our initial target level of a 50% occupancy within 3 months .

Our contractors Liviero are sti l l on site completing the snagging as well as the Mansard building and expecting final completion by June .

The 31st March was a historic day when Deputy Mayor Council lor Fawzia Peer together with the directors cut the ribbon at the official opening of the Ahmed Al Kadi private hospital . Over 250 guests including, the contractors, professional team, service providers, suppliers were welcomed by our management and staff of over 280

On the 28th of Apri l Mrs Iman Elkadi wife of the late Dr Ahmed Elkadi (after which the hospital is named ) unveiled a plaque in the ground floor foyer at the official launch of the Ahmed AL Kadi hospital . She was accompanied from the United States by her 2 daughters Salma and Magda as well as her two grandsons and a grand daughter in law.

This coincided with Islamic Medical Association of South Africa’s(IMASA) 37th Annual Convention. Ahmed Al Kadi hosted the Council meeting of

IMASA on Friday 28th .

The management has also hosted luncheons for

Emergency services, managers of both public and private hospitals as well as sponsored a meeting of the local IPA as well as a CME for dentists .

Adverts were placed in the Sunday Tribune to create an impact as well as branding for the hospital . The medical f i le program on Radio Alansaar has been sponsored for the next twelve months.

The Mimsys Hospital Information System has been activated and is sti l l work in progress and is being continuously updated and improved.

We require everyone of you to promote your investment and if you are a health professional then it would be appropriate to refer your patients to your hospital .

‘The directors, management and staff wish al l our muslim

shareholders well over the month of Ramadan. ’

May the Almighty make it easy for you and accept all your sacrif ice and prayers God Wil l ing.

Each year the invaluable role that nurses play in keeping people across all communities healthy, is recognised on International Nurses Day. The celebration is held annually on the 12th of May, a date selected to coincide with the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, a symbol of pioneering nursing. This year at AAKPH our first

commemorations were focused on recognising the diversity of nursing roles and the difference nurses make to the lives of people. Our celebration provided an excellent opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge our dedicated nurses and the positive difference they make. The token gift to each carer was a personalised Fob watch, which highlighted, it is” time for caring” whilst maintaining “the bare below elbows “concept for maintaining infection control. The heart-warming moment of seeing my team lighting a candle and re-committing to the Nurses Pledge, sealed our team’s commitment to excellence in care. Our heartfelt acknowledgements to Mr. S. Suleiman (Director), Mr. A. Docrat (Hospital Manager), MANCO team and ABSA bank for partnering with us on this special day.

World Hand Hygiene Day plays an important role in highlighting good infection control prevention and control practices to change behaviours, to reduce, the spread of infections and therefore save the lives of millions. Without behaviour change, antibiotic resistance will remain a major threat to healthcare industry.

Hand hygiene is the most important factor in preventing the spread of healthcare associated infections (HAIs), a major threat to patient safety and the cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We must seek to understand the importance of Hand washing before it can be understood.

M a y 2 0 1 7Q: How important are clean hands in patient safety?

A: Hand hygiene contributes significantly to keeping patients safe. It is simple, low-cost action to prevent the spread of many of the microbes that cause Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs), compliance with it alone can dramatically enhance patient safety, because there is much scientific evidence showing the microbes causing HAI are most frequently spread between patients on the hands of the health care worker.

The quest to make a hospital an infection-free environment seems never-ending. That’s especially the case as new antibiotic-resistance bugs crop up and as STAPH and SEPSIS continue to risk patient lives. The responsibility for addressing these problems does not rest solely on the Infection Control Practitioner of course, but there are measures one should consider when implementing an highly functioning quality system of culture within the hospitals. Much of this insight codifies what infection control practitioner seeks to do daily and experts will agree that cementing institution wide success begins at the top. “ The leader sets the tone”

Lilly Medical would like to thank the management of Ahmed Al Kadi and each of you for your support of the patient event on the 2nd May 2017. All attendees throughly enjoyed and appreciated the information received from Dr HA Randeree, Endocrinologist. The educational material in support of those people with diabetes wanting to fast was also very well re-ceived. Compliments to your in-house chef as the healthy snacks were very well received.

We hope that our partnership continues & together Lilly SA & Ahmed Al Kadi hospital continue our support to people living with diabetes.
