oa South African Medical Journal - National Doctor’s Day – conserving one of South Africa’s greatest assets - izindaba

Abstract

Doctors are among South Africa (SA)’s greatest home-grown assets. They respond creatively and courageously to a daily storm of healthcare challenges, which ironically makes them sought after globally, and even more importantly, crucial to retain domestically. A long-overdue National Doctor’s Day, honouring our doctors’ commitment, innovation and internationally recognised achievements, is being circled in SA diaries for 16 November.
