Dr Audrey Chivaura
VICE CHAIRPERSON
Doctor Audrey Chivaura is a passionate Family /General Practitioner who has over 25 years experience. At the core of Dr Audrey is her deep desire to improve Wellness, Women’s Health, Cancer Care and Counselling.
Her wide experience as a GP has taught her that many ailments that present themselves emanate from beyond just the pathology of patients, which has meant she has had to dig deep within herself and reach out to the whole person, in order to make a meaningful and lasting difference to their health and well-being. With intentional practice on her part, that approach to medicine and patient care has become easier and much more fulfilling to Dr Audrey Chivaura as a professional. This desire to making meaningful and lasting difference to the community is shared by other professionals, who with Dr Chivaura are answering the call to holistic health service provision on a daily basis.
She believes that there is special and deeper ‘caring’ that is beyond just the cold, hard facts of medicine which comes with gentle probing on the state of their families, a listening ear, counselling, someone to hear out their opinions, fears, hopes and aspirations that are needed.
