Emergency Medicine Cape Town

Emergency Medicine Cape Town (EMCT) was founded in 2001 and represents the cooperation between the Divisions of Emergency Medicine of both the University of Cape Town and Stellenbosch University. It took the lead to become the first South African institution to offer a specialist exit degree in Emergency Medicine in 2004 in South Africa. Today EMCT offers several degrees and diplomas, up to doctoral level. It hosts the largest emergency medicine school in Africa and is responsible for a large proportion of all emergency medicine research of the continent.

These are proving to be exciting times for emergency medicine in the region, and this emerging speciality is fast becoming a vital foundation for health care in the Western Cape, South Africa and Africa. Through integration within the local and national public health sector EMCT has expanded to provide substantial clinical and quality resources within emergency centres, at special events and on the road, through providing specialist staff, knowledge and training. Our partnership includes the Stellenbosch University, University of Cape Town and the Western Cape Government Department of Health.
