Dr Trish Moores

I studied medicine at UCT and thereafter returned home to Zimbabwe to do my Internship. Having  always had a keen interest in womens’ health, I returned to UCT  to do some postgraduate work in obstetrics and gynaecology, and thereafter gained valuable work experience at a district hospital in Zimbabwe.


This solid platform has been invaluable in my family practice in Pietermaritzburg.  I have continued developing my knowledge  and skills in well-woman medicine over a 30 year period, and believe I need to share this knowledge with all women, many of whom struggle from  significant misconceptions and misunderstandings. I also strongly believe woman need to make their own decisions about their bodies, but that these need to be informed decisions.


I sincerely hope my Well Woman Clinic will help facilitate this.
