Dr Maretha du Raan
MBChB (US), Anaesthesiology Specialist (NL), DESA (ESAIC)
After earning her medical degree (MBChB) from the University of Stellenbosch, Dr du Raan completed specialist training in Anaesthesiology at the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In addition to becoming a certified Anaesthesiology Specialist in the Netherlands, she successfully passed the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care examination, earning the title of Diplomate of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC).
Upon returning to South Africa in 2013, she was employed full-time in the Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery Department at the University of the Western Cape. Working in a setting where patients frequently presented with threatened or compromised airways allowed her to pursue her interest in advanced airway management and further develop specialised expertise in this critical area.
In 2025, she left the public service to join Northern Anaesthetic Practice, where she delivers anaesthesia mainly in the northern suburbs.
Na die voltooiing van haar mediese graad (MBChB) aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, het Dr du Raan spesialisopleiding in Narkosekunde voltooi by die Akademiese Mediese Sentrum in Amsterdam, Nederland. Benewens haar kwalifikasie as gesertifiseerde Narkosekunde-spesialis in Nederland, het sy die Europese Vereniging vir Narkosekunde en Intensiewe Sorg-eksamen suksesvol geslaag.
Met haar terugkeer na Suid-Afrika in 2013 was sy voltyds in diens by die Departement Kaak- en Mondchirurgie aan die Universiteit van die Wes-Kaap, waar sy haar belangstelling in gevorderde lugwegbestuur kon nastreef.
In 2025 het sy die staatsdiens verlaat om by Northern Anaesthetic Practice aan te sluit, waar sy narkose hoofsaaklik in die noordelike voorstede lewer.
