The Behind the Frontline podcast celebrates people doing great things in healthcare. In this special feature episode, I chat with a trail-blazing junior Doctor. At 21 years old only, Dr Thakgalo Thibela is the youngest qualified medical doctor in South Africa. She matriculated at a mere 15 years of age and completed her MBCHB at WITS. Currently performing her internship, what are some of the challenges associated with this label of ‘the youngest qualified medical doctor’? Is it a burden or is it an opportunity? What lies ahead for someone with such obvious and tremendous drive and potential? These are some of the questions we unpack.
