Ivan Toms Memorial Lecture

Deputy Minister of Health Molefe Sefularo was the guest speaker at the inaugural Ivan Toms Memorial Lecture, hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences on 11 March.

In particular, Sefularo supported a proposed documentary on the life of Toms, an activist, UCT graduate and, at the time of his death in March 2008, director of health at the City of Cape Town.

Dean Prof Marian Jacobs spoke highly of Toms' commitment to policy-makers, health managers and service providers, academics, members and volunteers of NGO/CBOs, and civil society activists.
