A message from the Executive Dean
The university has a fairly large Faculty of Health Sciences with about 4 000 students in ten departments. All these departments, through our Interprofessional Education (IPE) project with the theme: “transforming health sciences education to support equity in health”; work together in integrated learning, research and health service delivery platforms in serving communities that are in need.
In our agenda of “recirculation” and “Africanisation” of our programs, and in training health practitioners that are “fit-for-purpose”, we are revisiting the training platform of all our students. We must ensure that health practitioners (including medical practitioners) are trained in the setting where they are most needed, i.e., in the primary healthcare setting. We need to embrace and be part of all these initiatives together as a family; as Madiba once cautioned: “The important thing is that no single person can do everything.”
