The Dr Aadil Moerat Medical Bursary Trust

The Dr Aadil Moerat Bursary Trust is encouraging students who meet the eligibility criteria to apply for the 2026 Health Sciences Bursary.

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 his practice as a medical doctor, Dr Moerat was motivated by his belief in the principles of social justice and universal health care – that everyone has the right of access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without suffering financial hardship.

Three bursaries of R20 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.
