ABOUT THE FOUNDER


Dr Ramadimetja Onicca Teffo is an ambitious young woman, originally from Gamashashane Mohlonong village, but currently based in Boyne Mountain View village. Dr Teffo holds degrees in Occupational Therapy and Bachelor of Surgery & Bachelor of Medicine, both from the University of Limpopo.

After completing her studies at MEDUNSA (The now SMU) in 2014 where she was awarded The Best Occupational Therapy Student in All the 4 years of Study along with other accolades, she worked as a community service occupational therapist in Dilokong Hospital for 1 year. She then practiced as an independent Occupational therapy practitioner for 3 years in Letaba hospital, from where she resigned to go back to school full time, to pursue her dream career.

From her second year as a medical student at the University of Limpopo, Dr Teffo joined the mentorship programme through the Centre of Academic Excellence (CAE) at the university.

2. Best Overall student in the school of medicine (which includes MbCHB and medical Sciences)
3. Best overall student in the whole faculty of health science (Which includes Medicine, Medical sciences, Dietetics, Optometry, Nursing and Pharmacy)
