Medicine and Health

Health SA Gesondheid is an accredited interdisciplinary research journal that publishes only selected articles of the highest scientific standard, with human health as main theme. The journal accepts research and review articles on this theme. This journal aims to contribute to the development of science. We do this through interchange and cooperation between health professions, and we try to develop a relevant, effective health service delivery system in Southern Africa through research. The journal also aims to facilitate the gathering and critical testing of insights and viewpoints on knowledge from different disciplines involved in health service delivery. Journal articles express the authors' views and are not necessarily the views of Health SA Gesondheid. Articles may be written in either Afrikaans or English. The journal publishes independently refereed articles.
