Summary

I am currently serving as a community service medical officer at Mbekweni CHC and doing my overtime as a casualty officer at Mthatha Regional Hospital, which is in the rural part of Eastern Cape.


The experience has taught me a lot in managing patients holistically especially ones that suffer from HIV and TB. I always do my best to stay updated by studying the latest guidelines to ensure that my patients get the highest level of care.


I also contributed in the The South African HIV and TB Handbook in PHC settings by Dr. Ndiviwe Mphothulo.

I have developed strong communication skills and teamwork plus I have adapted working in resource restricted areas.
