Our Team
In the last two years, a team of young entrepreneurial caring female doctors started working together for the betterment of patient care through teamwork. We began seeing a gap in the care of breast cancer patients in the West Rand. Patient care was fragmented and did not support the emotional needs of female patients. In 2019 we began the first breast month at Netcare Krugersdorp. We researched the needs of breast cancer sufferers and sought to make their journey to recovery easier.
