The Wits Heroes Series celebrates staff members who went beyond the call of duty at the onset of Covid-19 in 2020.
Just at the start of their posts with the MRC/Wits Rural Public health and Health Transitions (Agincourt) in early 2020, Drs Bianca Moffett and Jacques du Toit were met with the slow approaching effects of the COVID-19 on the rural community of Bushbuckridge, north of Mpumalanga. With a background of working as medical doctors in the rural Eastern Cape, Dr Moffett had joined the unit as a Project Manager for the DoBAT Study (investigating digital delivery of Behavioural Activation Therapy) and Du Toit as a COVD-19 Response Advisor.
