Bonitas and Gift of the Givers empower future doctors with bursaries at the University of Pretoria
Bonitas Medical Fund, in partnership with humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers, recently awarded bursaries to three medical students: Lulama Sivetye, Mokhethi Thekiso, and Percy Mndebele, at the University of Pretoria. Now in their third and fourth years of study, the bursaries come at a crucial time, providing financial support and easing the burden of university fees. In addition to financial assistance, the bursary programme aims to help address some of the challenges facing the medical fraternity in South Africa, including overloaded public hospitals, understaffed clinics and a shortage of medical professionals.
