As the world marks Parkinson’s Awareness Month, questions are being raised about how South Africa is failing thousands living with the disease. Nearly 750,000 South Africans are affected by Parkinson’s, yet many are only diagnosed once symptoms like tremors, stiffness and slowed movement have already taken hold. Critics say the healthcare system remains too focused on medication, while patients continue to battle late diagnosis, limited support and a lack of holistic care.
