Dr Chanell Marthinussen
Medical Practitioner
Dr Chanell Marthinussen qualified MBChB at Stellenbosch University in 2018, interned at Paarl Hospital and completed community service at Mowbray Maternity Hospital. She practises as a general practitioner and has built her work around women's and reproductive health, founding The F-Word to open up conversations most consulting rooms still avoid. She also leads virtual care at MyPocketHealth, and appears regularly on national television as a health voice. Her position is that a patient who understands their own health is the one who keeps it.
