- What distinguishes a 21st-century paediatrician working in a resource-constrained setting from his predecessors? This is the question at the heart of Professor Regan Solomon’s leadership vision and one that he unassumingly answers with his own presence and way of being in the world.
A highly esteemed Paediatric Neurologist and the Executive Head of Paediatrics and Child Health at Tygerberg Hospital and Stellenbosch University, Professor Solomons is deeply committed to challenging the status quo and advancing equitable healthcare for the children of South Africa.
In this episode of Awakening Doctor, we delve into his early inspirations, reflect on the many personal and professional milestones that have defined his life path, and explore his perspective on the importance of role models and mentors for the next generation.
From his illustrious research career to the invisible ancestral thread that led him to specialise in TB meningitis and the transformative initiative he spearheaded to support students facing food insecurity, Prof. Solomon’s story is testimony to what is possible when legacy and destiny intertwine with humanity and heart.
Join us for this inspiring narrative of a dedicated medical professional who is shaping the future of paediatric healthcare.
