WELCOME Hello and welcome to the third issue of Pindara Private Hospital Magazine. As we move into the warmer months, a lot of us are paying closer attention to our health and wellbeing. It’s important to remember that good health comes from the inside, so it’s vital to undergo your annual health check now, if you haven’t already. In this issue we cover some serious medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, brain tumours and breast cancer, and break them down for you in plain English. We also discuss one of the biggest health awareness events of the year – Movember. Will you be supporting the Mo Bros and Mo Sisters this year? We also take you away to one of the busiest cities on earth, Hong Kong, and show you where to eat, drink, shop and play, for a top-notch getaway. Pindara Two Competition WINNERS Congrat ul ations...
