Genetic services in the State Health Department of the RSA. Development and structure

J Op't Hof et al. S Afr Med J. .

Abstract

Most developing countries have genetic counselling services. Although research and expertise in human genetics have reached unprecedented heights, health authorities have only recently acknowledged the practical application and economic value of genetic services in community health care. The development of community-based genetic services in the RSA since 1971 and the current organization and structure of the services in the State Health Department are described.
