About Us
Wits Women’s Clinic manages clinics providing comprehensive gynecology services, including abortion care. It is our philosophy that everyone must be at the center of their own healthcare decisions and that treating people holistically — honoring head, heart, and body — will better serve and improve the health and happiness of our communities.
We know that doing abortion care work in South Africa not only involves our healthcare expertise, but it also involves deep skills in advocacy, communications, litigation, community partnerships and policy.
WWC has developed mad skills in all these arenas during our 25 years in business, and we are uniquely poised to navigate challenges and leverage our expertise to keep high-quality clinics open and of service to communities across the country for decades to come.
The clinics managed by Wits Women Clinics run by an outstanding, innovative, forward thinking, and diverse leadership team. This team has expertise in medicine, operations, finance, communications, marketing, negotiation, risk management, quality assurance regulatory compliance, advocacy, and legislation.
The teams in the clinics we manage include Board Certified and licensed physicians, nurses, counselors, medical assistants, and patient advocates. All our facilities are accredited by the National Abortion Federation and are members of the Abortion Care Network. We are proud to be a woman-owned, woman-centered, progressive business.
Wits Women’s Clinic
Wits Women’s Clinic (WWC) is a privately owned, feminist healthcare company committed to providing fabulous abortion care for all who need it. Wits Women’s Clinic was founded in 2010 by Dr. Melissa, who saw a need in our communities for a holistic model of care. “Abortion and other reproductive decisions are not simply medical matters,” says Dr. Melissa. “When a person makes a decision about pregnancy and their body, this person undergoes an intense evaluation of beliefs, identity, goals, and dreams for the future.”
