UCT will be updating the ECG app and releasing a new clinical app for young doctors and students this year.

We have launched a gofundme page in an effort to bring in the funding we need to hire programmers and staff for the project this year.

Please consider supporting - digitalization within healthcare training is critical as not only will it standardize training in Africa, it will unlock the potential of our younger colleagues (who spend so many years studying) to create innovative teaching and clinical material while at University.

There has been gross under-investment in the health of Africans – only 2% of the world’s doctors and 1% of the world’s health expenditure is allocated for sub-Saharan Africa." says Dr Ntobeko...

"Antibiotic resistance is threatening modern medicine. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics is driving resistance to such an extent that we have entered the post-antibiotic era, where some multidrug- and pandrug-resistant bacterial infections are no longer treatable. If the situation is not reversed,10 million people will die annually of drug-resistant infections by 2050. More than just a question of mortality, such infections are causing the closure of wards, cancellation of operations, and interference with other common medical procedures that rely on antibiotics for their success. The response to this crisis requires co-ordinated international action with increased surveillance of bacterial resistance, infection prevention, and antibiotic stewardship, i.e. access to affordable, quality-assured antibiotics prescribed appropriately." (Mendelson M, SAMJ, 2015)
