Profile
qualifications: MBChB, MMed (Fam Med), Dip HIV Man
position: Specialist Family Physician
department: DCST
South Africa
I am trained as a Family physician, who worked for 10 years in a remote rural district hospital in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. I am currently the Specialist Family Physician for the Amathole District Clinical Specialist Team, Eastern Cape, South Africa. I am passionate about providing quality medical care to those in a rural environment, as well as seeking to understand the issues that impact these communities (eg poverty, unemployment, etc). I am interested in HIV/AIDs, TB, maternal and child health, teaching of primary health care, and the training of health care providers.
