Prof. Pierre Goussard sal op 5 Julie aantree vir een van die w\u00eareld se mees uitdagende drafroetes, die Gornergrat Zermatt-marathon in Switserland. Di\u00e9 roete van 45km klim meedo\u00ebnloos opwaarts deur die Switserse Alpe en eindig op \u0149 hoogte van bykans 2\u00a0600m op Riffelberg. Die meeste hardlopers sal tevrede met hul prestasie voel as hulle hierdie uitmergelende bergmarathon voltooi. Vir Goussard is dit net nog \u0149 stap in \u0149 veel groter missie: om kinders se lewe te red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Hoof van die Eenheid Kliniese Pediatriese Pulmonologie en die Eenheid Pediatriese Intensiewe Sorg by die Tygerberg-hospitaal en die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US), beleef Goussard die uiters dringende behoefte aan gevorderde mediese toerusting eerstehands. Hy en sy span behandel elke dag van Suid-Afrika se mees kwesbare pasi\u00ebnte \u2013 babas en kinders met ingewikkelde respiratoriese toestande, tuberkulose, MIV-verwante komplikasies en lewensgevaarlike longontsteking. Talle van di\u00e9 jong pasi\u00ebnte kom van regoor Suider-Afrika, aangesien die Tygerberg-hospitaal as \u0149 verwysingsentrum vir die streek se mees komplekse gevalle dien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy Departement het dringend \u0149 Olympus-bronkoskoop nodig \u2013 \u0149 gesofistikeerde instrument wat dokters in staat stel om die lugwe\u00eb te ondersoek van babas en kinders wat dodelik siek is. Gegewe die prys van R400 000, is die toerusting ongelukkig buite die bereik van huidige openbare gesondheidsorgtoewysings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aanhou en uithou<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedert die bekendstelling van sy Given Gain-veldtog het Goussard sowat 11 000km tydens oefeninge en wedlope afgel\u00ea en self vir al die kostes verbonde aan sy deelname betaal. Hy oefen daagliks en sy lang oefensessies oor naweke sluit dikwels afstande van 50km in. Sy wedren-CV lyk soos \u0149 w\u00eareldwye uithouvermo\u00eb-toer: meer as 50 marathons, insluitend in Parys (vier keer), Berlyn (twee keer), Londen, Rome (drie keer) en Praag, asook ultra-marathons soos die Stoos-roete in Switserland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit was moeilik om mense aan te moedig om geld te skenk, veral met soveel ander veldtogte wat om aandag meeding,\u201d erken Goussard. Ondanks di\u00e9 uitdagings het hy tot dusver R46\u00a0760 ingesamel \u2013 ongeveer 12% van sy teiken. Die organiseerders van die Stoos-wedloop in Switserland, waaraan hy twee keer deelgeneem het, het ruim ondersteuning gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformerende impak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As hy sy doelwit behaal, sal die impak daarvan transformerend wees. Goussard se span voer jaarliks sowat 350 bronkoskopieprosedures by die Tygerberg-hospitaal uit. Daarvan hou sowat \u0149 derde met tuberkulosegevalle in MIV-positiewe en -negatiewe pasi\u00ebnte verband, en sowat 25% met chirurgiese ingrepe. In hulpbronbeperkte omgewings waar aansteeklike siektes soos MIV en TB algemeen voorkom, bly die diagnose van toestande by kinders uitdagend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit bly moeilik om tuberkulose by kinders te diagnoseer en dit kan met ander aansteeklike siektes oorvleuel,\u201d verduidelik Goussard. Die inaseming van vreemde voorwerpe is nog \u0149 kritieke area omdat hierdie gevalle dikwels in \u0149 laat stadium en met ho\u00eb komplikasiekoerse aangemeld word, wat die bestuur daarvan sonder behoorlike toerusting uiters moeilik maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0149 Nuwe bronkoskoop sal gevorderde tegnieke soos endobrongiale ultraklank (Ebus), radiale Ebus en krioterapie moontlik maak, wat diagnostiese \u00e9n terapeutiese vermo\u00ebns drasties sal verbeter. Benewens onmiddellike pasi\u00ebntsorg, sal die toerusting die behoefte aan verwysings na ho\u00ebsorgsale verminder, gesondheidsorgkoste verlaag en opleidingsprogramme vir junior personeel en dokters van regoor Afrika versterk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie opvoedkundige aspek l\u00ea Goussard veral na aan die hart. \u201cOns onderrig baie Suid-Afrikaanse dokters, asook di\u00e9 van ander Afrika-lande, wat dan hul gemeenskappe kan bystaan wanneer hulle terug huis toe gaan,\u201d merk hy op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Voorsitter van die Tygerberg-hospitaal se Kindertrust verstaan Goussard dat duur mediese toerusting vir dodelike siek kinders dikwels buite standaardbegrotings val. Sy drafveldtog verteenwoordig meer as bloot atletiese prestasie; dis \u0149 kreatiewe oplossing vir \u0149 dringende gesondheidsorgbehoefte wat deur persoonlike vasberadenheid en gemeenskapsondersteuning momentum kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goussard sal die Gornergrat Zermatt-uitdaging die tweede keer aandurf nadat hy dit voorheen in 2022 voltooi het. Maar hetsy hy teen die berg wen of verloor, duur sy groter wedloop voort. Elke kilometer wat hy hardloop, bring hom nader aan \u0149 doelwit wat talle jong lewens kan transformeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
