Introduction by Vice-Chancellor Dr Max Price INTRODUCTION BY VICE-CHANCELLOR DR MAX PRICE UCT is … profiles what is excellent about the University of Cape Town. It highlights our fundraising priorities and showcases why UCT is the leading university in South Africa and the only African university to be consistently ranked amongst the world’s best universities. The projects featured embody the mission of UCT to grapple with the key challenges of our social and natural worlds, to be responsive to the needs of the communities we serve and to contribute towards the transformation of our country to a truly non-racial democracy. These interventions position UCT at the nexus between the creation of new ideas and the harnessing of partnerships to bring about fundamental and lasting change that not only advances the frontiers of knowledge but also improves the quality of life of communities. Not one of these projects would be able to realize its full potential without the partnership of donors which includes individuals, alumni, foundations, trusts and corporates. Over the years we have been fortunate as a university community to establish and nurture relationships with those who not only share but also invest in our mission. This publication celebrates the work that these vital partnerships have helped to produce and also serves to introduce new potential donors to the range of development initiatives that still need funding. Our fundraising efforts are more than just appeals for research, bursaries, projects, buildings and equipment. They represent opportunities for investment – to raise 01 ADVANCING AFRICAN SCHOLARSHIP IN THE GLOBAL ARENA the highest ranked African university to new levels of excellence. We invite you to consider partnering with UCT today. 02 DEVELOPING CUTTING-EDGE HEALTH CARE INTERVENTIONS 03 CULTIVATING ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE 04 PURSUING INNOVATION & ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT & TRANSFORMATION AT UCT 05 CREATING OPPORTUNITY & BUILDING LEADERSHIP A MESSAGE FROM DR RUSSELL ALLY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI DEPARTMENT 06 PROMOTING GOOD GOVERNANCE & HUMAN RIGHTS UCT is … in the midst of a far-reaching transformation process. As a university which had its origins predominantly in white privilege and black exclusion, our task is to create a university that is truly inclusive and reflects the values of our Constitution of human dignity and equity. Transformation is never an easy process. It is complex, messy and can often be conflictual. However if we are to heal the divisions of the past and create a truly nonracial and just society, then transformation is not only an historical imperative but a moral one as well. UCT has embraced the challenges of transformation. We believe that transformation will not only enhance our standing as the leading university on the African continent, but it will also ensure that we remain relevant as a national asset. Universities are uniquely placed to contribute towards the transformation of societies. They not only produce knowledge which assists in the better understanding of these societies, but they also produce graduates who become the leaders of the future. Accordingly then, transformation is a central thread which runs through all the development projects described in this publication. Transformation will lead to greater inclusivity; improve the quality of teaching, learning and research; create opportunity and build leadership; and entrench UCT as the top African university contributing to global knowledge production and dissemination. 01 UCT is ...

AFRICAN CLIMATE & DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE CENTRE FOR AFRICAN STUDIES GALLERY The problems of responding to the challenge of climate change and of achieving sustainable forms of development are While African art and photography have in recent years become part of a global dialogue, African representation is highly high priority on the global development agenda.

The story of the Students’ Health and Welfare Centres Organisation (SHAWCO) begins during the early 1940s, when industry allied to the Second World War effort attracted large numbers of indigent job-seekers to the Cape Town area. Most of these migrants settled in rapidly growing shanty towns on the outskirts of the city. Poor living conditions coupled with an absence of medical facilities allowed ill- health to flourish. In December 1942 Andrew Kinnear, a UCT medical student, spent his vacation driving an ambulance to earn money to pay for his medical training. One of the places he visited was the shanty town of Kensington-Windermere where he was so appalled by the poverty, lack of hygiene and lack of medical facilities that he became determined to do something about it. When the new university term started in 1943, he began to explore the possibility of opening a clinic run by students.

  • Student Doctors (Umfundi Wobugqirha): the Role of Student-Run Free Clinics in Medical Education in Cape Town, South Africa
    Research Student doctors (umfundi wobugqirha): The role of student-run free clinics in medical education in Cape Town, South Africa S C Mendelsohn, MB ChB Rob Ferreira Hospital, Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, South Africa Corresponding author: S C Mendelsohn ([email protected]) Background. Since 1943, the Students’ Health and Welfare Centres Organisation (SHAWCO) of the University of Cape Town has provided voluntary, student-run free clinics in under-served communities in Cape Town, South Africa, filling major gaps in the city’s healthcare services. Objective. To determine the role SHAWCO clinics play in medical education. Methods. A mixed-methods study with a predominantly quantitative questionnaire utilising dichotomised Likert scales was performed with 110 clinic volunteers. The Likert scales were converted to population proportions for quantitative analysis. Qualitative data obtained from participants’ comments were analysed thematically. Discussion. SHAWCO clinics provide a controlled environment in which to practise skills acquired in medical school. Over 98% of students attend clinics to increase their clinical exposure. Medical conditions that students encounter are primary care problems, often neglected at tertiary level teaching institutions. The clinics achieve what the formal curriculum struggles to do: humanise medical treatment, allowing one to better understand the socio-economic background of patients. Conclusion. SHAWCO is best suited in its current role of hands-on, community-based learning to augment the training provided in the formal medical curriculum. AJHPE 2014;6(1):28-32. DOI:10.7196/AJHPE.311 The City of Cape Town, South Africa is home to an SHAWCO continued with its activities in the townships, despite estimated population of 3.5 million, >15% of whom live in opposition from the state.
