Overview
These centres were initially established to support the practical clinical training of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Unani Tibb through the School of Natural Medicine at the University of the Western Cape.
The flagship centre at the Saartjie Baartman Centre was officially opened by the then Premier of the Western Cape, Ebrahim Rasool, and served communities in and around Surrey Estate and Manenberg.
Over the years, the Institute’s clinical centres developed beyond their original training role and became important spaces for patient care, student learning, clinical research, health promotion and community education.
In 2026, ISIT expanded its clinical footprint into Gauteng with the opening of the Tibb Health Centre in Erasmia, Pretoria.
Today, the Institute operates Tibb Health Centres in Cape Town and Pretoria, continuing its commitment to accessible, individualised healthcare based on the principles of Unani Tibb.

Our Approach to Treatment & What to Expect
Tibb recognises that every person is unique. Treatment therefore considers more than the presenting condition and takes into account the individual’s temperament, health history, lifestyle and overall wellbeing.
During a Tibb consultation, your practitioner will take the time to understand your health concerns and assess the factors that may be contributing to imbalance.
Your Consultation May Include:
Comprehensive Health Assessment
A review of your health concerns, symptoms and medical history.
Temperament Evaluation
Assessment of your dominant and sub-dominant temperament to better understand your individual characteristics.
Lifestyle Assessment
A review of factors such as diet, sleep, physical activity and emotional wellbeing.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Your treatment plan is tailored to your health needs and temperament and may include:
• Diet and lifestyle guidance
• Herbal and natural medication
• Cupping and other regimental therapies
• Health promotion and illness-prevention guidance
• Follow-up care where needed
Our approach aims to support Physis, the body’s inherent ability to maintain and restore health.
