Incase you missed it, COVID-19 Frontline Workers: Q&A with Dr Gabanakgosi

With South Africa under lockdown in attempts to slow down the transmission ofis profiling one such worker – Dr Gontse Gabanakgosi – who has his own private practice in Evaton on the Vaal and also works for the Netcare group.Well, I don’t have negative thoughts or feelings about working during the lockdown. We took an oath to serve and we are the frontline. As anyone should be, I have a lot of anxiety with regard to the outbreak, also given our demographics in South Africa.

So, imagine the anxiety of possibly transmitting the virus to your own parents and they don’t survive that. Another fear would be our healthcare system as a whole. We’ve never dealt with this before; we’re doing a lot of right things.It’s a bit tricky based again on my population group. My practice is in Evaton, a township in the south of Gauteng. So, a large proportion of my patients don’t have internet access allowing for online consultations. What we have done is to reduce the numbers.
