About
Dr. Ashnee Govender
My initial decision to pursue a career as a Physician was based on a keen passion for the practice of bedside clinical medicine. This passion continued to develop during my postgraduate training when I did research involving the specialty care management of critically ill patients with lifestyle-related diseases.
I have a very keen interest in the progressive and exciting field of Endocrinology. I have had significant exposure and training in the expert management of common endocrine diseases, Diabetes Mellitus and other lifestyle-related diseases.
As the new full-time Specialist Physician at Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital and previously of Rondebosch Medical Centre, I plan to eventually develop my practice into a CDE Centre (Centre for Diabetes Excellence).
