Dr Gwen Morgan
Gwen is originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, where she completed her undergraduate medical degree at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits).

The following year she returned to South Africa to complete a year of Community Service before entering Specialist Anaesthesiology training, again at Wits. After completing her specialisation, she set up an anaesthetic training program in a very rural district of the North West Province before settling in George in the Western Cape, where she now works in Private Practice in Anaesthesiology and Pain medicine.
