Geskiedenis-gespreksreeks: Innovasie in tye van oorlog

With Arnold van Dyk, Fransjohan Pretorius, Albert Grundlingh, Kabous Meiring(facilitator)

Wars are an rich source for research on medical history. Dr Hermann Küttner did exceptional work on the Western Front and established a hospital that met international standards at the time. He brought an X-ray machine from Germany and insisted on electric lighting. His pioneering work during the Anglo-Boer War led to him being regarded as a leader in the field of trauma surgery in that era.
