Dr Sally-Anne R Khosa is a Consultant Histopathologist with Lancet Laboratories in Johannesburg. She joined Lancet Laboratories in 2010 and, in addition to offering a comprehensive range of services in the discipline of Histopathology, currently serves as the Histopathologist responsible for overseeing the running of the Histology laboratory.
Her special interest in Breast Pathology developed during the course of her career as a Consultant Histopathologist and she is an active member of and contributor to Breast Oncology multidisciplinary teams. Participation in these meetings has in turn deepened her interest in Breast Pathology.
Dr Khosa’s journey into the discipline of Anatomical Pathology began when enrolled as a registrar in training at the University of Cape Town in 2005, where she received specialist training in Anatomical Pathology. She was later admitted as a fellow of the College of Anatomical Pathologists of South Africa in 2009. She also has an avid interest in Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology which developed quite early in her career, while still an Anatomical Pathology registrar in training.
Dr Khosa was born and raised in the rural township of Giyani in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. She obtained her MBBCh degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in 2002. She feels her biggest challenge, without a doubt, is trying to instil morals and values whilst fostering an enduring spirit of independence in her beloved children.
