Video Q&A with Bhubezi's medical director

Virgin Unite recently invited the public to submit questions for Dr. Gilbert Khoza, the medical director of the Bhubezi clinic in South Africa.

This state of the art clinic provides primary healthcare and HIV/AIDS treatment in the rural Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Bhubezi is made possible by an unusual public-private partnership between Virgin Unite, the US Government (PEPFAR/USAID), Anglo Coal, Pride n’ Purpose and Dutch social entrepreneur Dr. Hugo Templeman.
