# The University of the Witwatersrand has made available 22-million-rand in emergency funding to immediately support postgraduate students and key research staff in the Faculty of Health Sciences. This is in response to the sudden termination of major international health research funding from the US government. Wits says this emergency funding will assist approximately 75 postgraduate students to complete their degrees, and will provide gap funding for key research-active staff members for up to six months.
