About Dr Prevention


Dr Prevention is the first online Preventative Medicine Practice in South Africa, offering virtual consultations to patients all over South Africa.

Dr Prevention was founded by Dr Jakoet in 2024, with the aim to provide online medical consultations to prevent STIs, pregnancy and HIV.

She has consulted many patients who admitted to traveling to clinics far and wide to get confidential care away from friends and family - for fear of being judged, or due to stigma. Our goal is to provide preventative health care to all South Africans from the comfort of their homes and as easily accessible as their phones.
