Dr Nomsa Mkhwebane – Psychiatrist – Alberton

Dr Nomsa Mkhwebane practices as a Psychiatrist at Netcare Akeso Alberton. She earned her MBChB from the University of the Witwatersrand and completed her MMed in Psychiatry at the same institution. Early in her career, she interned at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, where she honed her skills in acute psychiatric care. Subsequently, she fulfilled community service at Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital.

Moreover, Dr. Mkhwebane undertook registrar training through the Gauteng provincial programme. During that period, she led a retrospective study on bipolar disorder that informed length-of-stay strategies in tertiary care. Indeed, her findings appeared in peer-reviewed journals, and she presented at national conferences. Furthermore, she mentors psychiatry registrars at Wits University, guiding research on mood disorders and service delivery. Consequently, she blends academic insight with compassionate, patient-centred practice at Akeso Alberton.
