Welcome to the Department of Health Studies<\/span><\/h4>\n

In 1975, the Department of Nursing Science, now the Department of Health Studies, was established under the leadership of Professor Charlotte Searle. The aim was to meet the need of thousands of nurses for post-registration distance education at University level. The Department intended to provide access to education, to many nurses who could not meet the costs of traditional university education, or cope with the difficulties of attending a residential university. During the past 30 years, distance education for nurses and\u00a0other health professionals developed into strengthening the health professions. Today it is a WHO Collaborating Centre. It provides a powerful means of education and development of\u00a0the health professions in general, and nursing in particular.\u00a0The University of South Africa is a sub-chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International.<\/a><\/p>\n

Healthcare problems within Africa demand concerted efforts in re-evaluation of systems and methods for effective education of health professionals. Acceptance of changing philosophies and methods of providing health care is essential. So is the concentration on appropriate research. The Department of\u00a0Health Studies\u00a0is prepared for the challenge of equiping its students with research skills and expertise to assist in reaching global health needs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
