Kevin Mwangi* has fond memories of his father. He was present, healthy and dependable. After all, he was young with the strength of an ox. However, Mr Mwangi began to watch his beloved father slow down as he got older until he was eventually bedridden due to muscle loss, a natural aging process.
Noting the need for a specialised doctor and one who would go out of their way to treat his father at home, he was referred to Dr Tasneem Yamani, a geriatrician - a physician who specialises in the care of older adults. Until his death, Dr Yamani provided the medical care his father needed and the support they couldn’t possibly get anywhere else.
