	Groote Schuur Hospital: Overview
		The hospital is probably most famous for being the hospital where the first heart transplant took place in 1967.
		However, there is much work to be celebrated that is done by the hospital's many departments and over 3663 dedicated staff who care for more than 560 000 referrals and inpatient admissions per year.
		Many of these cases are complex and this is one of the reasons that GSH is an excellent teaching as well as healing institution.
