Acute & Chronic Illnesses


Life can throw unexpected health challenges our way - one day, you feel fine, and the next, you have the flu or symptoms that don't seem to end. You might find yourself dealing with a long-term condition like diabetes that requires regular management.

We know that getting sick is never part of the plan, especially when you're juggling a thousand other things in life. Whether it's a sudden flu that hits you like a truck or a chronic illness that becomes a life-long commitment - we're here to help.

What are acute illnesses?

Acute illnesses are like those unwelcome surprises that show up at your doorstep without warning. They start quickly, hit hard, but thankfully, they also go away quite quickly. Examples of acute illnesses include:

  • The flu
  • Pneumonia
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Sudden injuries, like a broken bone

How are acute illnesses treated?

When you're dealing with an acute illness (like the flu), our goal is to make it go away as soon as possible. This usually involves medications, getting plenty of rest, and staying hydrated.

Our doctors will examine your symptoms, do a few checks, and then develop a treatment plan to get you back to feeling yourself in no time.

What are chronic illnesses?

Chronic illnesses, on the other hand, are like those stubborn problems that just won't leave. They sneak up on you gradually and decide to stay for the long haul, often for several months or even years.

These include conditions like:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Hypertension
  • Arthritis

Many chronic illnesses tend to live long, but with the proper care, you can continue to live a full and healthy life.

How are chronic illnesses managed?

Chronic illnesses are often more about learning how to manage them in your day-to-day life. This could involve regular medications, changes to your diet or physical activity, or other lifestyle changes.

Our team is here to support and guide you in managing your chronic condition so that it doesn't hold you back from living your life.

At Njabulo Medical Centre, we understand that dealing with an illness can be tough, especially when it comes to work and finances. That's why we're committed to providing quality, affordable care for both acute and chronic conditions, helping you feel better without breaking the bank.
