INFO
Christiaan Barnard with his team, performed the world’s first human-to-human heart transplant operation on 3 December 1967. It was a major historical event and a significant breakthrough for medical science. The article describing this remarkable achievement, titled ‘A human cardiac transplant: an interim report of a successful operation performed at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town’ was published just three weeks after the event in a special edition of the South African Medical Journal.1 This must rank as one of the most rapidly published medical reports of all time.
Media coverage around the world of this event and subsequent transplants was front page and appeared daily for weeks and months on end, describing all aspects in detail and giving progress reports on the postoperative course of the patients. This degree of public acclaim had not been previously experienced by any other physician or surgeon and nor would it be experienced subsequently. This was in part because the dramatic nature of the operation had captured the public’s imagination, but was equally a response to Chris Barnard’s youthful good looks and charismatic personality.
