Prof André Hans-Dieter Mochan

President

André Mochan is an Associate Professor in the Division of Neurology at WITS and has been Clinical Head of Neurology at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital since 2009.

In 2022 he was appointed Academic Head of Neurology. After completion of his medical undergraduate training at LMU Munich, Germany, he spent his internship year at Baragwanath Hospital, and thereafter never turned back, completing all postgraduate and specialist neurology training and further education there and at the University of the Witwatersrand. His early academic career has been largely influenced and shaped by the HIV epidemic, leading to an interest in the wide variety of its neurological manifestations. This has led to numerous publications to ultimately characterise and improve diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with HIV related neurological diseases in our setting. In 2014 he established a dedicated multidisciplinary Motor Neuron Disease / Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (MND/ALS) Clinic at Chris Hani Bara. Through the MND/ALS clinic he participates in the drive for yet almost non-existent genomic research on African ALS patients. Prof Mochan is a senior examiner/convener/moderator for the Fellowship of the College of Neurology in the CMSA; he is the WITS representative on the College of Neurology Executive Committee. He is the current Secretary of the College of Neurologists. Prof Mochan is also an executive member and recent office bearer of the Neurology Association of South Africa (NASA).
