An Eastern Cape woman who alleges she was repeatedly raped by a medical doctor has questioned the manner in which the Health Professions Council of SA is handling her case.

The woman said she reported the matter in July to the council but only received an acknowledgement letter last month, without anyone calling her from the council.

The council had not responded to questions from Times Select by the time of publication.
