Two bursaries of R10 000.00 each will be awarded by the Dr Aadil Moerat Medical Bursary Trust for study in any field of Health Sciences at any one of the Western Cape universities.

About The Trust

The Trust was established to commemorate the life and legacy of the late Dr Aadil Moerat, a general practitioner who tragically met his untimely death at his surgery in Gugulethu, Cape Town in January 1998.

Throughout his studies and into his practice as a medical doctor, Dr Moerat was motivated by his belief in universal health coverage - that all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.

This bursary in his honour, is intended to contribute to the ideal of a healthy society through the development of health care professionals who share his belief in equity in healthcare and a commitment to community work.

In 2022, the bursaries will be awarded in September.
