About

Hi, I'm Dr Billy Magagula.
I created this Awesome Diploma in Obstetrics preparatory program for a medical officer just like you...

I'm an obstetrician and gynaecologist, a fellow of Gynae-Oncology (UP) and enjoy looking after women of all age groups during and outside pregnancy.

I obtained my undergraduate medical degree at the Medical University of South Africa (MEDUNSA) and subsequently pursued a career in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology  and completed training with the University of Pretoria. I have achieved the following credentials: MBChB (UL, Medunsa), DIP Obst (SA), DIP HIV Man (SA), MMED O&G (UP), FCOG (SA).

I currently operate at Rob Ferreira Hospital, Kiaat Private Hospital, Nelspruit Mediclinic and Busamed Loweveld Private Hospital.

Some Initiatives of interest include Bumps2Babies Antenatal Workshops and I host Seminars in O&G @Clinical Care Platform.

See you at the next live session...
