Celebrating 70 years of impact, excellence & service

This year, Stellenbosch University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences marks a historic milestone: 70 years of advancing health, transforming lives, and serving our communities. From our earliest pioneers to today's innovators, we've grown into a nationally and internationally respected institution, shaping generations of health professionals and producing research that tackles South Africa's most pressing health challenges. This achievement belongs to our entire Tygerberg Campus community, our students whose passion drives us forward, our dedicated staff, our valued partners, and our alumni whose impact reaches across the globe. Here's to seven decades of humanity, integrity, and service.
