Cape Town is the capital city of the Western Cape Province and has an astonishing variety of attractions, activities and resources. The Groote Schuur Hospital is just one of the assets to which this popular tourist hotspot is home, and has played a major role in the establishment of the South African medical faculty on the global platform. It was at Groote Schuur that the first successful human heart transplant in the world was performed. The patient was Louis Washkansky and the doctor was Christiaan Barnard, who studied at UCT. Today, it is still respected for its excellent anesthesiology department, as well as its trauma unit and internal medicine department.
