National Health Minster Dr Aaron Motsoaledi will deliver the annual Steve Lawn Memorial Lecture on Tuesday, 02 April, at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Institute of Infectious Disease & Molecular Medicine (IDM).

Lawn, who was well known for his pioneering work on the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis among populations affected by HIV/AIDS, died in 2016.
