Keketso Mopeli Paediatric Pulmonologist Parktown

Dr. Mopeli specialises in the holistic care of children with respiratory conditions. She investigates and treats the causes of chronic cough and other chronic lung conditions such as asthma. She also supports parents to better manage the condition in their environment.

Her private practice was established in June 2022 after qualifying as a Paediatric Pulmonologist in 2021. With more than 15 years of experience, she ventured into private practice as it allows one-on-one interaction and follow-up with patients. She likes to get to know her patients beyond their medical condition.

Dr. Mopeli has always been a nurturing person with a particular interest in the human body. She wanted to understand how the body works, what causes pain. And how she could help people experience less pain.

During a time of distress, families have passionately encountered her, ensuring that patients feel physically better. And that their parents feel heard and supported. She believes how parents feel goes a long way in effectively managing their child’s condition.

Furthermore, Dr. Mopeli is also the co-founder and chairperson of Marotholi Outreach. Founded in 2017, it is a registered non-profit public benefit organisation that addresses the alarmingly high number of malnourished children in vulnerable communities.

“Marotholi is an opportunity for us to be those droplets of water that nurture seedlings which are God’s children, to thrive in the world and reach for the sun. For me, it is love in action.”
