Dr NA Nkabane is a specialist physician with subspecialty expertise in geriatric medicine and stroke, trained across South Africa, Ireland, and Switzerland. She holds Fellowship of the College of Physicians of South Africa and has spent her career developing clinical expertise in the management of older and complex patients.

After completing specialist training at the University of Cape Town and the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, Dr Nkabane pursued an MSc in Stroke Medicine at the University of Bern — one of Europe's leading neurovascular programmes — and has since worked as a consultant physician in Ireland, leading acute medicine, geriatric, and stroke services.

Dr Nkabane is returning to South Africa to establish a specialist geriatric and stroke service on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast — a region with a significant and growing elderly population and limited access to this level of subspecialty care.

The South Coast Specialist Geriatric & Stroke Clinic will serve facilities and communities in Scottburgh, Margate, and the surrounding South Coast corridor.
