Excerpt from the Submission to The Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Abstract
The SA Academy of Family Practice/Primary Care (Academy) was founded in 1980 as an academic body of doctors in primary care. The aims of the Academy are to raise standards of primary health care in SA inter olio by means of continuing medical education, publications, research and training undergraduate and postgraduate. The latter initiative in particular was seen as addressing an important health need in SA i.e. by establishing post-graduate vocational training programmes in under-doctored areas to serve the health needs of these communities in a way which would not otherwise have been possible.
