Reviews

  • Raul Bitran

Very nice little museum inside the faculty. Its got 3 or 4 particular displays (AIDS, polio, alternative medicine, etc) the rest is walls filled with historical facts of medicine. It has a huge collection of old instruments, each labeled with precise information about it. It has nice ambientation as well. Its deffenately worth a visit if youre a medical professional, a bit less for general public. Its free entrance so that makes it nice. Time to spend there is at maximum an hour and a half if not less. We really enjoyed. Next to it there is a medical book store and coffe place.

  • Luz-Helena Beltrán Gomez

Free entrance but not much guidance. It is a good place to go down memory lane. It helps to understand some complexities of the practice of medicine in SA. Not a tourist landmark, but still interesting.

  • Stephen Kerwin

You will see lots of medical history with some artefacts you have never seen before. Well worth the visit. The museum staff are very helpful and friendly too.
