Meet Dr Sekwati
Specialist Physician
MBChB, DipHIVMan, FCP(SA), MMed (Int Med)
Dr Sekwati provides comprehensive medical care to adult patients in Mossel Bay.
As a specialist physician, her work focuses on the diagnosis, investigation and treatment of conditions affecting the body's internal organs and systems. This approach is particularly valuable when several conditions occur together, illness is complex or the cause of symptoms is not immediately clear.
Dr Sekwati cares for patients in both outpatient and hospital settings. She has admitting rights at Life Bayview Hospital, where she manages patients requiring General Ward, High Care and Intensive Care treatment.
A thoughtful approach to complex medicine.
By the time someone arrives in a specialist physician's rooms, they may already have seen several doctors, undergone a number of tests or be living with more than one medical condition. Sometimes there is a clear diagnosis. Sometimes there are symptoms, abnormal results and unanswered questions.
I enjoy bringing those pieces together.
For me, being a physician is about understanding how conditions interact, investigating thoughtfully and making a complicated medical picture a little clearer.
I want my patients to feel comfortable asking questions, understand why I recommend an investigation or treatment and be part of the decisions we make about their care.
You can expect me to be thorough and straightforward. I may not have every answer at the first consultation, but I will take your concerns seriously, explain my assessment and be clear about what we need to do next.
Ultimately, I want you to feel seen as a whole person — not simply as a diagnosis.”
Understand the patient before treating the disease.
A blood result, scan or diagnosis is only one part of your medical story. Dr Sekwati's approach considers your symptoms, history, current treatment and circumstances together.
Consultation languages: English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and Sesotho.
