“We cannot win the Global Surgery war by just being excellent clinicians…I strongly believe tomorrow’s healthcare providers need to know their surroundings” - Abebe Bekele, MD. Incredible insights from the UCT Global Surgery Academic Meeting

Blessed this week to graduate with my MBChB with distinction in the basic sciences, distinction in the clinical sciences and the degree with first class honours (summa cum laude) from UCT . Here’s to serving as a medical doctor, and to future graduation ceremonies!

Love this quote “a lot more people who are willing to get into trouble.... Academia and activism should co-exist."

Proud of this group of young interns who took their first step in the daunting world of academic writing with this reflective piece on their internship experiences.
