A group of medicine and health sciences students at Stellenbosch University’s Tygerberg campus have joined the fight against Covid-19 by volunteering during the lockdown.

I never decided to volunteer. Rather, I knew I wanted to be there and to help. As future health-care workers it’s in our nature to help — it is who we are.”

According to the university, the student volunteers are working on numerous fronts and are provided with the necessary training and protective equipment. Another 20 students are screening people at the four main entrances to Tygerberg Hospital and dispensing hand sanitisers. “These are senior students doing things like drawing blood and placing drips and other tasks that they would have been performing anyway as part of their clinical training,” Kannenberg said.
