“If we are not intentional in the way we communicate ourselves, then we are leaving it open for people to communicate with us.
"So we want to communicate our patients first and foremost because these are people who have a long relationship with us but we also want to reach patients who have never come,” he said.



The new website will enable patients to book appointments with the facility’s specialists anywhere in the world, Dr Tamaklo said.
