For generations, African families have carried stories of strength of mothers who keep going despite chronic fatigue, of fathers who ignore chest pains because they “just need to rest,” of siblings battling conditions we only understand once they become serious. We all know someone who has fought cancer. Someone living with heart disease. Someone silently struggling with diabetes or unexplained symptoms that never quite made sense.
These stories shape us.
They remind us how fragile life can be.
And they ask a powerful question:
What if we could see the warning signs earlier?
What if we didn’t have to wait for symptoms to appear?
Very soon, Africa will receive that answer.
For the first time on the continent, NURA, Japan’s breakthrough 120-minute Active-AI Health Screening, is coming to InUWell, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town — bringing world-leading early detection technology to our shores.
Why NURA Matters: Because Someone You Love Needs You Healthy
Behind every appointment, every test, every check-up, there is a story.
A mother worried about unexplained weight loss.
A brother who “doesn’t have time” to see the doctor.
A friend who found out about their cancer too late.
A colleague quietly managing high blood pressure or borderline diabetes.
Illness does not discriminate, but early detection can change everything.
NURA was built for the moments we fear most.
It was built so we can act before something goes wrong.
It was built so that you can stay present for the people you love, longer, healthier, and stronger.
What Makes NURA Different?
120 Minutes. One Visit. Dozens of Conditions Detected.
Unlike traditional screening, which can take weeks, multiple specialists, and costs that can easily reach R60,000, NURA brings everything together in a single, precision-driven 120-minute experience.
Powered by Fujifilm and Dr. Kutty Healthcare (DKH) Japan, NURA uses Active-AI to detect the earliest signs of major health risks, including:
• Cancer: early warning signs for lung, breast, stomach, prostate, and more.
• Heart Disease: arterial calcification, cardiac stress markers, hidden risks.
• Stroke Risk: silent blockages and abnormalities before symptoms appear.
• Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders: insulin resistance, prediabetes markers.
• Respiratory Conditions: lung degeneration and abnormalities.
• Liver & Kidney Health: chronic damage indicators and early dysfunction.
• Full Health Profile: a precise, integrated report with a clear roadmap.
All in under two hours.
All in one place.
Why This Matters for African Families
Africa is rising, but so are lifestyle diseases.
Cancer cases are climbing.
Heart disease is affecting younger people.
Diabetes is becoming one of our continent’s most silent killers.
Many of our loved ones never get screened because the system feels overwhelming, expensive, or time-consuming.
NURA removes these barriers.
It replaces fear with clarity.
Confusion with direction.
Waiting with action.
Imagine knowing your risks before they turn into a crisis.
Imagine giving your parents, your partner, your children or yourself the gift of foresight.
NURA Brings Hope. And Hope Is Powerful.
This is more than a screening.
It’s a turning point in how Africa approaches health and well-being.
We cannot change the stories of the past, the losses, the regrets, the diagnoses that came too late.
But we can change what happens next.
With NURA, we can start catching disease at Stage 0 or Stage 1.
We can prevent strokes before they happen.
We can identify the earliest seeds of diabetes and reverse them.
We can give our families a better chance at a longer, healthier life.
And that is how futures change.
NURA at InUWell, Cape Town’s Soon-to-Be Home for Advanced Health Screening
Located at the iconic V&A Waterfront, InUWell will become the first African centre to offer NURA.
This brings Japan’s most advanced health technology directly to South Africa, a moment of transformation for our continent.
Proactive.
Precise.
Powerful.
And built to save lives.
Final Word: Do This for Yourself. Do This for Someone You Love.
NURA is not just coming to Africa, it is arriving for every family that has ever said:
“If only we knew sooner.”
Soon, we can.
