Introducing ... Prof. Steve Reid - Downhill Cyclist Extraordinaire!

 
Prof Steve Reid is tall, fifty something family physician and a keen mountain biker. He rides a 29-niner, mountain bike jargon for a bike with big wheels. Downhill we will definitely not be able to keep up with him! 

He is Director of Primary Health Care at the University of Cape Town since 2010. Before that he worked in KwaZulu-Natal, first in a district hospital and then as head of the Centre For Rural Health. Steve is a real visionary of primary health care and is passionate about rural health. 

He is the chairperson of the Collaboration for Health Equity through Education and Research (CHEER), an interuniversity collaboration to improve selection and training of health professionals for rural and underserved communities.

Good luck with those mountains Prof. Steve!
