Caring Healthcare Workers Coalition
We are a group of South African healthcare workers committed to quality patient care, the preservation of the doctor patient relationship and evidence based medical care.
Our Aim
Obligation and responsibility
We have an obligation and responsibility to our patients as stated in the Hippocratic Oath we swore – “I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgement; I will keep them from harm and injustice – I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asks for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect”.
Caring Healthcare Workers Coalition
Together for a better tomorrow
Guidance
In treating patients we are also obliged to guide them to make an informed choice about treatment and prevention options for all diseases.
Openness
As part of our commitment to our patients we pledge to being up to date with the latest available data about treatment and prophylaxis protocols. Putting our patients first sometimes means asking difficult questions and challenging decisions made for them by non-medical people.
Constitution
All people have a constitutional right to bodily integrity and freedom to choose what they do with their bodies. The Patients’ Rights Charter ensures, amongst other things : Informed Consent, Confidentiality and Privacy, Refusal of Treatment as well as the right to Complain about Health Services.
Our Patients Comes First!
We will endeavour to always do what is best for our patients and continue to treat people and not diseases and above all – “First do no harm”
Why Choose Us

In the peak of the second wave in KZN – she made a plea to the president in January 2021 to make ivermectin available and accessible to the people of South Africa. This please was to give hope back to the people and trust back to the doctors. The letter went viral and soon after she founder The ‘I can make a difference’ group of HCW’S – one of the 4 groups that took the ivermectin case to court to make ivermectin available and accessible to the public via their doctors.
The matter was settled successfully out of court and ivermectin is now accessible to the South African public via the Section 21 application process. Seeing a broader need for ethical medicine this groups – the Caring Healthcare workers was created.
