Life Healthcare Bursary South Africa 2025

Life Healthcare is a prominent name in South Africa’s healthcare system.

Founded in 1907, they boast a network of over 60 hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country.

Their commitment to excellence extends beyond patient care, as evidenced by their investment in education and training initiatives.

One such initiative is the Life Healthcare Bursary program.

Through this program, they offer financial assistance to deserving students, particularly those from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, who are passionate about pursuing a career in nursing.
