Dr. Maphos signs agreement as second doctor coming to Tofield in the fall -both will use Tofield Medical Centre

Apparently the cold didn’t matter so much. After touring Tofield and area the week before last, Dr. Mancha Maphosa of South Africa signed an agreement last Friday to come and practice medicine in Tofield.

This good news comes on the heels of hearing that Dr. Mohammed Muneer, who has been practicing in Ireland for the past nine years, signed a similar agreement April 15.

This will bring the number of doctors in Tofield to three once they arrive.

Both the new doctors are expected to arrive sometime in the fall.
