We strive to develop high-quality, low-cost, research-based surgical systems, and strengthen surgical leadership and international collaboration.

 We launched our Global Surgery Research Strategy in September 2022. We want to ensure that our research is impactful through a deliberate approach of research prioritisation, in alignment with UCT's Vision 2030.
