About Dr Khumbo Ted Jere
Biography
Subspecialist Urogynaecologist, Academic Leader & Global Surgery Researcher
Dr Khumbo Ted Jere is a subspecialist urogynaecologist. His clinical path runs from graduation at the University of Cape Town to Head of Urogynaecology at Tygerberg Academic Hospital, with a parallel academic appointment in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Stellenbosch University. His service is centred on tertiary pelvic floor reconstruction and on training fellows for independent subspecialist practice.
He is a certified subspecialised urogynaecologist and a Fellow of the College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of South Africa (FCOG SA).
He is a doctoral candidate in Global Surgery at the University of Cape Town. That research applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Three Delays Model to obstetric fistula care in Sub-Saharan Africa, examining how distance, delay, and health-system capacity shape access to repair.
