Who Elah Health Is For
Elah Health is for anyone seeking personalised healthcare and clear, practical guidance on how to live well. Whether you want to understand what a healthy lifestyle looks like for you, improve your nutrition, movement and overall wellbeing, or follow a health plan shaped around your unique body, medical history and circumstances, we are here to support you. Elah Health also provides whole-person care for those navigating cancer treatment, recovery or survivorship, as well as for those supporting someone with cancer. Working alongside your oncology team, we help you care for your health and wellbeing through cancer and beyond. Wherever you are in your health journey, Elah Health offers personalised guidance for living as well as possible.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 10177 (ambulance) or 112 (from a cellphone), or go to your nearest emergency department.
My Story
Diagnosis changed everything, and it clarified everything.
I'm Dr Maretha Rossouw. In 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and very grateful to have recovered and for the grace to be a survivor. I experienced treatment as both a doctor and a patient, and gained a personal understanding of the challenges beyond clinical care. While the medical care I received was excellent, practical day-to-day guidance on nutrition, movement, emotional wellbeing and the safe use of supplements was often fragmented and not always easy to access.
