The North West MEC for Health, Madoda Sambatha lauded Prof Binu Luke on his achievements. This comes after Binu was conferred with Honorary Fellowship award by the Royal College of Physicians. Sambatha said that even though the honorary award was conferred back in 2020, the ceremony was held last week in London, United Kingdom.
“Prof Luke is one of our best specialist clinicians and has demonstrated his
capabilities as the Head of Clinical Services at Klerksdorp/Tshepong Complex Hospital. His expertise has benefitted the rest of the province, as our hospitals refer patients to Klerksdorp/Tshepong Complex Hospital.
“It is not surprising that his expertise and contribution have caught the attention of the international community. We encourage other clinicians in the province to emulate Luke,” he said.
Sambatha further said, the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District is fortunate to have
a brilliant mind like Luke and that the province is truly proud to see his work being recognised by his peers in the international community. He added that, this award comes after a rigorous peer review by international peers and it is based on contribution to medicine and Royal College over many years.
“An honour like this is a wonderful tribute to one of the best medical minds we have in the department. It comes hot on the heels of a bitter battle Luke led against the COVID-19 pandemic. Luke is currently the Head of the clinical department at Klerksdorp/Tshepong Complex Hospital Complex since 2014.
“He is also a Tertiary Medical Co-ordinator, serving as a medical advisor to the Deputy Director-General for clinical services in the province,” said Sambatha.
