 Dr Bongi returns to our couch for an important talk on teen reproductive health.  

 Pasi and Dr. Bongi speak about the importance of communication about sex in a relationship, especially when one's libido is low. They also delve into the importance of hormones and how they affect you. 

 Join us as we sit down with Dr. B Rubushe Ngwenya, a renowned OBGYN specialising in infertility, to explore the challenges and triumphs of navigating fertility journeys.  This episode is filled with insights and hope for those facing this deeply personal experience. 

In a meaningful reunion at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Dr. Gobetz from Vitalab and Dr. Bongi Rubushe-Ngwenya, a specialist obstetrician and gynecologist, have teamed up to promote minimally invasive gynecological surgery. For Dr. Gobetz, who trained at Baragwanath decades ago, the collaboration marks a full-circle moment and an opportunity to share his expertise with a new generation of doctors.

The pair recently performed complex surgeries, including a case involving a Müllerian duct anomaly and severe Asherman’s syndrome. Dr. Gobetz used the opportunity to teach advanced techniques, emphasizing uterine preservation and hands-on learning for local registrars and consultants. He also conducted academic sessions between procedures, sharing practical “tips and tricks” drawn from his 44 years in endoscopic surgery.

Dr. Rubushe-Ngwenya highlighted the value of public-private partnerships in boosting the quality of care in high-demand public hospitals. She praised Dr. Gobetz’s commitment to mentorship and patient-centered care.

Looking ahead, Dr. Gobetz plans to run ongoing training sessions at Baragwanath, aiming to build a stronger, more skilled surgical team. Both doctors hope the partnership will inspire broader collaborations and a sustainable, skills-driven healthcare model that improves outcomes for patients across the system.
