Disussion with Dr Gabriels from Gabriels Medical Center 

On February 21 2024, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr Gabriels from Gabriels Medical Center. 

She's a  Portland doctor and we had a discussion of her all-women team offered free health and wellness talks, blood pressure and body mass index checks to the community on Saturday, February 3. 

Previously Dr Gabriels worked in Town Centre, where she experienced first hand the trauma, deprivation felt and needs of patients, which included the necessity for a safe space to heal.

She said while studying at the University of Cape Town (UCT) she shied away from telling people she lived in Mitchell’s Plain.

Dr Gabriels spoke about striking the balance between physical and emotional well being; physiotherapist Aeysha Gabriels advised on healthy families and exercises for arthritis; and community dietician Moeznah Patience spoke on eating healthily on a small budget and advised on chronic condition care.

For more information about reduced medical service fees for pensioners, scholars and students call the practice on 021 391 0377.
