Prof. Ruedi Lüthy, a Swiss doctor and HIV/Aids specialist, started in 2004 with around 15 staff. The team now covers a wide range of professions: nurses, doctors, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists, administration staff and people working in logistics and housekeeping. All of them passionately committed to providing the best possible care for Newlands Clinic's patients.

Specialising in HIV

Senior medical doctors Cleophas Chimbetete and Margaret Pascoe ensure the ongoing training of the medical staff, and the nurses, doctors, laboratory technicians and pharmacists have become true HIV specialists. Some of them are passing on their knowledge as lecturers or mentors to staff from other clinics, as well as carrying out research projects. As the Founder and long-standing Director of the clinic, Ruedi Lüthy is still passing on the knowledge he has amassed over the years to the staff and to other local healthcare workers.
