We'll go the extra mile,
because we look at a person as a whole rather than just as a patient.
Because you deserve the best quality of life,
after all it's the only one you'll get to live.
We provide long-term medical, psychological and social support for those who have had an adverse outcome following a medical or surgical procedure, with a special focus on those who develop long term neurological complications like cerebral palsy.
Sizanani is a Zulu word which means "help one another". Bentham refers to Jeremy Bentham, an English social reformer who is known for introducing the ethical concept of Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is an ethical concept that promotes the General Happiness Principle(GHP). GHP means that the best policies are those that promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
The Sizanani Bentham Trust honours the principles and ideas of Jeremy Bentham by promoting and implementing systems and policies which promote well-being amongst individuals that require care.
We look at a person as a whole rather than just as a patient. Medical and surgical procedures are psychologically scarring and sometimes the effects can be permanent. Rather than relying on faith alone that complications will not happen, we will provide support in cases where they do, both emotionally and physically, by giving clients access to long term holistic care provided by a network of dedicated professionals and institutions.
Children who suffer from developmental delay do not have access to long term and holistic care, and I often lose them to follow up. Sizanani Bentham is a first. FInally I have a partner who is able to assist my patients in their long and difficult journey.
Operations are psychologically and physically traumatic. When things go wrong, the experience is a lot worse. Sizanani Bentham ensures that the doctor walks the whole journey with the patient.
Sizanani Bentham is a multifold solution. Bringing together medical care, schools and social care for those in need and affordably. It's a long-term commitment to those that benefit. It will only grow in popularity because there is nothing of its kind.
