MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR SOUTH AFRICAN BLACKS ME SAB'S "MISSION MESAB RAISES FUNDS FOR THE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF BLACK HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, IN ORDER TO HELP IMPROVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL SOUTH AFRICANS. MESAB is a partnership among Americans and South Africans of all races and ethnic groups. The U.S. and South African staffs cooperate closely on designing and implementing our programs, which are described in this report. We maintain good working relations with the Mandela Government, in particular with its Ministries of Education and Health. MESAB is incorporated in the District of Columbia as a charitable, educational association and is tax exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to MESAB are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. MESAB is registered with every state government that requires registration by charitable organizations. MESAB participates in many workplace campaigns, including the Combined Federal Campaign, state government campaigns, and United Way campaigns. MESAB meets all standards of the National Charities information Bureau (NCIB). We welcome inquiries for further information. MESAB/South Africa is registered as a tax-exempt educational trust, headed by a Board of Trustees (see inside back cover).

First, on behalf of all who have been a part of this significant undertaking—as supporters, donors, Board members or scholarship recipients—I wish to thank Donald Kennedy for his many years of outstanding leadership as chairman of MESAB. Under Don's leadership, MESAB has grown into an organization that now is the largest source of private scholarship aid for black South African students in medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy and allied health schools in South Africa. All of us affili- ated with MESAB are pleased that Don will be continuing his service as a member of the Board of Directors. The year, 1996, has been one of continuing accomplishments for MESAB. We are now providing scholarship support (full or partial) to nearly 700 students. However, as noted in our President's report from Harvey Leifert, much remains to be done. The shortage of trained black health professionals in South Africa continues to be acute and severe. The health status of black South Africans still lags far behind that of whites in that country. A healthy popula- tion is a prerequisite for robust economic development. Most importantly, for the future prospects of South Africa and, indirectly, the future of subsaharan Africa, there must be continued efforts to produce the trained professionals and educated individuals who will ultimately comprise the middle class needed to bring social and economic stability to that region of the world. It is our contin- uing commitment to those goals that motivates all of us—donors, directors, staff, and scholarship recipients. I ask all of you to be steadfast in your support, as we work with our colleagues and friends in South Africa. Their goal is to realize the full potential of that society, that nation, and that part of our world for democracy and development. ; kJ. LOUIS W. SULLTVAN, M.D., Chairman ESAB's Annual Report is not a dry recitation of facts and figures (at least, I hope it isn't!) Rather, we see it as an important part of our public education program, conveying information to Americans about health condi- tions in South Africa and our efforts to accomplish our mission "to improve health care for all South Africans." In this issue, you will read about: • Four of our 600+ alumni who are now at work in the community, improving health care for disadvantaged patients, while demonstrating the impact and effectiveness of your past contributions to MESAB. • The first year of our direct involvement with the Perinatal Education Program, or PEP, which will in time help nurse-midwives improve black maternal and infant mortality rates. • A remarkable train that plies the byways of the South Africa rail network, bringing health care to remote areas, with the help of senior health science students, including MESAB scholars and a MESAB alumnus. We have always listed in our Annual Reports the names of all of the students who receive scholarship support from MESAB, so that our donors know exactly who benefits from their gifts. This year, we are also identifying recipients of special scholarships, such as those provided by Coca-Cola and the Kellogg Company. I want to thank outgoing Board Chairman Don Kennedy for his unstinting support and friendship during our four years of complementary responsibilities. His firm dedication to social justice and MESAB's mission underlie much of our success, and happily, he remains a member of the Board. And welcome to Dr. Louis Sullivan as our new Chairman. Lou has been a stalwart MESAB supporter and active Board member since the organization's earliest days. Finally, thanks to all of you whose generous contributions make our work possible. You are MESAB. <4HI wtf HARVEY V. LEIFERT, President SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Minister of Education Says Thousands More Doctors are Urgently Needed (^_J) cholarships for black students in the health sciences are the core of MESAB's programs in South Africa. Each year, we receive additional confirmation that this program is relevant to current needs and is effec- tive. Minister of Education Sibusiso Bengu has added his personal endorsement of the importance of MESAB's scholarships in making higher education possible for disadvantaged students. (See Page 8.)

  • Medical and Dental Professions Board
    HEALTH PROFESSIONS COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA MEDICAL AND DENTAL PROFESSIONS BOARD HANDBOOK ON INTERNSHIP TRAINING GUIDELINES FOR INTERNS, ACCREDITED FACILITIES AND HEALTH AUTHORITIES PRETORIA 2021 EDITION PREFACE On behalf the Medical and Dental Professions Board (MDB), I have the pleasure of making this Handbook available to all Interns, Intern Curators, and Accredited Facilities for Internship Training and Health Authorities who are involved with internship training and who employ interns. The Board has come to appreciate the need in practice to obtain clear guidelines for internship training. Thus, based on experiences of Board members, Evaluators of Internship Training and inputs of those who went through Internship Training, this Handbook for Internship Training has been revised and we trust that it will be relevant as a guideline that will serve the needs of Interns and those responsible for their training. The Medical and Dental Professions Board looks forward to ongoing improvement in the nature and quality of internship training as part of its role and mission of “Protecting the Public and Guiding the Professions”. Part of this improvement is through the feedback and inputs from all our interns during their internship training. As of January 2020, Internship training model has been modified to incorporate six months of training in the primary health platform in the second year. The training will be for 24 months with specific domains to be completed in the first year before proceeding to the domains of second year. This has resulted in the expansion of existing training platform incorporating the district health system. This we consider as transformational in the area of training and service delivery The Board expresses its gratitude to all who have contributed to this document, and this include the members of Medical Education and training committee, Panel of Evaluators of Internship Training, Secretariat and all those who have worked tirelessly in the revision of this Handbook.

  • SDC 1. Supplementary Notes to Methods Settings Groote Schuur
    Mouton JP, Njuguna C, Kramer N, Stewart A, Mehta U, Blockman M, et al. Adverse drug reactions causing admission to medical wards: a cross-sectional survey at four hospitals in South Africa. Supplemental Digital Content SDC 1. Supplementary notes to Methods Settings Groote Schuur Hospital is a 975-bed urban academic hospital situated in Cape Town, in the Western Cape province, which provides secondary and tertiary level care, serves as a referral centre for approximately half of the province’s population (2011 population: 5.8 million)1 and is associated with the University of Cape Town. At this hospital we surveyed the general medical wards during May and June 2013. We did not survey the sub-speciality wards (dermatology, neurology, cardiology, respiratory medicine and nephrology), the oncology wards, or the high care / intensive care units. Restricting the survey to general medical wards was done partly due to resource limitations but also to allow the patients at this site to be reasonably comparable to those at other sites, which did not have sub-specialist wards. In 2009, the crude inpatient mortality in the medical wards of Groote Schuur Hospital was shown to be 573/3465 patients (17%)2 and the 12-month post-discharge mortality to be 145/415 (35%).3 Edendale Hospital is a 900-bed peri-urban regional teaching hospital situated near Pietermaritzburg, in the KwaZulu-Natal province (2011 population: 10.3 million).1 It provides care to the peri-urban community and serves as a referral centre for several district hospitals in the surrounding rural area. It is located at the epicentre of the HIV, tuberculosis and multidrug resistant tuberculosis epidemics in South Africa: a post-mortem study in 2008-2009 found that 94% of decedents in the medical wards of Edendale Hospital were HIV-seropositive, 50% had culture-positive tuberculosis at the time of death and 17% of these cultures were resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin.4 At Edendale Hospital, we surveyed the medical wards over 30 days during July and August of 2013.

It is intended to demonstrate that the South African churches failed to effectively politicize and radicalize to confront the government until the advent of Contextual Theology in South Africa. Contextual Theology provided the Christian clergy the theological justification to unite with anti-apartheid organizations.
