The people building Kathan Healthcare Group.
Every person on this team lives or has lived in the Cape Flats communities we serve. We are doctors, researchers, administrators, and advocates who understand the realities of healthcare access here because we have experienced them ourselves. This hospital is not an outside project dropped into the neighbourhood - it is built by the community, for the community.
