History of Bioethics at Wits

For several years prior to 2000, Professor Trefor Jenkins and Dr. Graeme McLean taught bioethics in the Faculty of Health Sciences. In 2000, the faculty established the Discipline of Bioethics headed by Associate Professor Udo Schuklenk. Udo moved to the UK in 2005, and in 2006 professor Ames Dhai replaced him as head of discipline.

The Steve Biko Centre for Bioethics as we know it today was inaugurated on February 8^th 2007.
