Obstacles to the treatment of detainees in South Africa

G McCarthy. Lancet. .

Abstract

KIE: The author, a South African, addresses the difficulties encountered by district surgeons, hospital doctors, and others in the medical profession in trying to care for detainees in that country. McCarthy argues that, because detention without trial is a root cause of ill health, South African physicians have a duty to call for its end.
