Salute to Heroes

The Headache Clinic will be honoring all South African police personnel and registered nursing staff with a special “Salute to Hero’s” treatment plan. Starting in February all “Heroes” will be treated at 50% of the usual cost of diagnosis and treatment.

Dr Elliot Shevel the chairman of the South African Headache Society and founder of The Headache Clinic explains: “It takes a very special type of person to become a nurse or police officer, someone that is willing to give and asks very little in return. They work in highly pressurized environments and we as The Headache Clinic team can’t afford to let their levels of service decrease due to incapacitating migraine. It takes a significant great toll on police and nurse’s minds, bodies and spirits and they are frequently overworked and underpaid. This is in recognition of the outstanding contribution they make to society”. To received their ‘Salute to Heroes’ treatment plan, South African police personnel will have to present their SAPS badges and registered nursing staff will have to present their up to date SANC receipts on the day of their diagnosis.

The pain associated with migraine can seriously impact an individual's quality of life both through pain and through feelings of isolation. Support and information is available free of charge by specialist migraine nursing staff on 0861 678 911 or on www.headacheclinic.co.za .
