Physiotherapists
Our physiotherapists are passionate about helping people get back on their feet, be it in the hospital or the community. After a lean 2016, we are back to three, though we dream of four. For more information on rehabilitation services in a rural area, see http://www.ruralrehab.co.za

Physiotherapist Lara grew up coming to nearby Mdumbi on holiday and always dreamed of working at Zithulele. She graduated from UKZN in 2016 and did her comm serv in Maguzi Hospital, before a stint in private while looking for a suitable rural post.
