DR NONKALA: PMB NEPHROLOGIST & SPECIALIST PHYSICIAN

Dr Nonkala is a Pietermaritzburg Nephrologist and qualified Specialist Physician since 2017, caring for kidneys and for people.

His interest is primary and secondary prevention of kidney disease through early screening and managing the risk factors contributing to kidney disease. Dr Nonkala: PMB Nephrologist & Specialist Physician runs a prevention clinic and also offers awareness talks (on television and by invitation). Where needed he also offers kidney transplant services.

Dr Rufus Onke Nonkala's vision is to see a community that is proactively screened for prevention, rather than treated once disease becomes irreversible.

PIETERMARITZBURG NEPHROLOGIST

While Dr Nonkala is best known for his nephrology services (care of kidneys), with special focus on education to prevent kidney disease, he also offers broader specialist physician services within a network of specialists dedicated to patient health.

If you've been struggling with a difficult or unusual health challenge, connect to see how Dr Nonkala can assist you or connect you with the appropriate specialist. He is known to help adults with a wide range medical conditions beyond kidney care.

South Africa has seen a steep increase in renal disease patients with hypertension and diabetes comorbidities, both of which can be minimized with no or low cost lifestyle choices. Given that access to CKD management is limited for many people in the public healthcare sector, early detection followed by education re diet and lifestyle modifications, can curb the incidence and progression of CKD.

It is our passion to empower people with the knowledge needed to prevent kidney disease, or even reverse early kidney damage, with interventions they can adopt without incurring costly medical bills - this is already being successfully done in clinics globally.
