Frontline and emergency care

Dr Roland Kroukamp

Family Physician

Dr Roland Kroukamp practises as a family physician at Mitchells Plain Community Health Centre, where the work is frontline and unscheduled: whoever comes through the door, in whatever state they arrive. He has twice been recognised in the Western Cape Government's Service Excellence Awards, once for frontline service delivery and once as a public service innovator, the latter for a paediatric emergency resuscitation system built to make the first minutes of a child's emergency faster and more reliable. That is the discipline he brings to Odyssey: decisions made under real constraints, and care measured by what actually happens to the patient.
