The CMSA’s 70th Anniversary Conference, Provincial Seminars and lectures on the future of specialist medicine, took place during South Africa’s ongoing healthcare crisis, marked by a shortage of medical specialists, especially in the public sector. The Conference focused on expanding access to specialist care, while the Seminars addressed province-specific challenges and solutions. These events formed part of the CMSA’s commitment to collaborative, innovative responses to national healthcare needs. The celebrations also reflected on the CMSA’s legacy and future role. Key topics included training capacity, fair examinations, specialist retention, AI in medicine, leadership, transformation, and the private sector’s role in improving equitable access to care.
