About Us
Dr. Matheena Mathir
Doctor with a passion for evidence-based medicine.
​
I graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2013 and completed my internship at Groote Schuur Hospital. During this time, I gained valuable experience in clinical and critical approaches to medical problems.
​
After completing my community service at Murchison Hospital and GJ Crookes Hospital, where I predominantly practiced internal medicine, I joined the family practice of a family medicine specialist. Here, I learned the tools of the trade from four distinguished and respected clinicians.
​
In 2017, I became a Sub Investigator for HIV vaccine trials with CAPRISA before having my first child. It was during this time that I fell in love with HIV medicine and decided to pursue it further.
In 2018, I joined MatCH as an HIV clinician, where I managed patients with high viral loads and advanced clinical care in Umlazi, KwaMakutha, Magabeni, and Umnini. During this period, I completed my postgraduate diploma in HIV medicine, passed the exams for Advanced HIV Management by the South African HIV society, and gave birth to my second child.
​
When the Durban division of MatCH closed in September 2020, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to take HIV medicine into private practice and perhaps even become a family doctor. So, in the middle of a global pandemic, I started my own beautiful practice.
​
Today, I am grateful for my awesome patients and the love I have for my job that will never fade.
My experience includes: University of Cape Town, Groote Schuur Hospital, Murchison Hospital, GJ Crookes Hospital, CAPRISA, MatCH, and Advanced HIV Management.
