About this study field
Health sciences funding in South Africa comes from provincial health departments, hospital groups, medical schemes, universities and health-focused trusts. Several health programmes are internships or community-service placements rather than bursaries, so always read the official notice for the qualification, registration and placement conditions that apply.
