GROOTE SCHUUR HOSPITAL

Groote Schuur Hospital, or GSH, is a Central Hospital which forms part of the Western Cape Provincial Department of Health, South Africa which provides:

• specialised and super-specialised care for patients
• world class academic training for interns and residents
• and is a world renowned research hospital.

We are probably most famous for being the hospital where the first heart transplant took place in 1967. Visit the GSH Museum to see how medicine has changed over the years.

However, there is much work to be celebrated that is done by the hospital's many departments and over 3663 dedicated staff who care for more than 560 000 referrals and inpatient admissions per year.

Many of these cases are complex and this is one of the reasons that GSH is an excellent teaching as well as healing institution.
