Dr. Rosemary Pitsi is a dedicated young doctor currently working at a tertiary hospital in South Africa's North West province. She is also the founder of Book Buddies, a literacy initiative for underprivileged children, and co-founder of Medtimes, a medical rostering platform designed to streamline scheduling for healthcare workers and institutions.

In this episode of Awakening Doctor, we explore Dr. Pitsi's journey of being and becoming a doctor - beyond the long hours and technical expertise to the heart of the human connections and responsibilities that define the profession.

As we reflect on her commitment to service, the role of emotional intelligence, and the intersection of literacy and healthcare, we learn about her love for medicine and surgery, the challenges of an unexpected and delayed community service placement, and the ongoing struggle to balance personal wellbeing with the demands of a medical career.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about resilience, advocacy, and the power of faith and family in staying true to one's purpose - both within and beyond the hospital walls.
