Welcome to the Medical School, based at the Missionvale Campus in Gqeberha.

When the first 50 students set foot here in March 2021, it fulfilled a dream not only for the University but also for the area and communities around the campus, Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, the Eastern Cape province and our country. Our Medical School is intentionally being anchored on our Missionvale Campus in Gqeberha to  contribute to urban renewal and regeneration for the benefit of our surrounding communities and the city.  We are actively pursuing partnerships with local government, business, educational institutions, and public and private health service providers to promote access to comprehensive health services as part of an integrated health and education innovation precinct.  Our aim is to develop and produce socially conscious medical doctors who can compete globally but who also have a deep passion to change the lives of poor communities. Through Vision 2030, Nelson Mandela University reaffirms its commitment to change the world through humanising educational opportunities, innovative and transdisciplinary research and transformative engagement.
