Response to the ANC Document - A National Health Plan for South Africa
Abstract
The apartheid health system has also been biased towards domination by doctors". While fully acknowledging the vital roles to be played by all members of the Health team, we are concerned that this statement could detract from the valuable contribution which has (and hopefully will continue) to be made by PHC professionals. Specifically, as far as the Academy is concerned, the expertise of the family physician could be utilised not only in helping to provide a high quality of PHC to all members of our society, but also in helping to train other members of the health team to function optimally.
