Abstract
The African Journal of Primary Health & Family Medicine welcomes submissions that encourage scholarly exchange between family medicine and primary health care researchers and practitioners across Africa and the developing world, whilst providing a contextual and holistic view of family medicine as practiced across the continent.
Highlights
An Internet search cross-referencing the terms ‘family medicine’ or ‘family physician’ with equity or inequity yielded only two references. These referred only to inequity in payment between family physicians and other specialists! An additional PubMed search yielded six articles: two related to employment issues, two to equity of access to general practice services and one to equity in training opportunities
Searching international equity websites produced no results with the keywords ‘family medicine’ or ‘general practice’ but there were 11 for ‘district health’
One related to student perceptions about primary care and the other referred to the recent Rustenburg Resolution on Inequality of Health Care in South Africa
