  • Phelisa Miti-Nyobole (Specialist Anaesthesiologist)

    Phelisa Miti-Nyobole

    Specialist Anaesthesiologist

    Anaesthesiologist, in private and state practice based in Johannesburg. Anaesthesia beyond the operating theatre was the ultimate test when I started private practice. As I navigated this non-clinical side of my practice, I was so intrigued that I founded Pellucid Zone, an exclusively anaesthetic billing company. When not administering anaesthesia, I will most likely be doing one of the following activities:
    Practice Management, with a key interest in start-up practices.
    Collaborating – Accounting, Medical, Business, Wellness
    Mentoring or being mentored
    I empathise with the numerically challenged new business owner, the working parent, the obligate breadwinner, and the burnt-out specialist who is anxious about their future
