Abstract
The Hamilton Naki Scholarship was introduced because of the
shortage of qualified academic leaders in South African medical
schools, especially for academic clinicians from previously
disadvantaged backgrounds. There were only a handful of African
academic doctors with a significant published record of scholarship
in South Africa. If academic physicians from the whole population
were not recruited and trained, South Africa would lose its ability to
train high-quality health practitioners. To address these deficiencies,
the Netcare Physician Partnerships Trust established a scholarship to
produce world-class academics in all medical specialties to teach and
conduct research comparable to other parts of the world.
