A new list helping lesbian and bisexual
women find lesbian-friendly doctors
and medical specialists is now operating
online.

Association (ALMA) spokeswoman Dr
Adele van der Merwe said Doclist was
developed because there was no onestop resource for women to seek out
doctors recommended by other lesbian
andbisexualwomen.

practitionerorspecialistissomeonewho
understands you’re the whole person
andthatincludeswhoyoulove,andwhat
makes up your family,” she told Southern
Star.
“These aspects are so important and
they have an impact on health.
You’re
not just abdominal pain, you’re actually

ALMA — which was established in
1999 — will start the list focusing on
