This association started with 3 like-minded doctors in the field of Natural Medicine who discovered the need for networking and engagement between various professions within Natural Medicine. The vision we had in mind was to increase awareness and provide access to Natural Medicine doctors to the community of Cape Town, especially those with lack of access. It also provides a safe space for practitioners to engage and develop their professionalism sharing treatment outcomes and engagement with other stakeholders within the field.
