I was involved in the anti-apartheid struggle from 1972 until it pretty-well ended, in 1989-90. Presents: John V Dommlsse, MD Artzono Recent figures indicate that the number of g doctors emigrating from SA has reduced con­ siderably since the 19805. Many graduates of ucr emigrated at that time because they re­ fused to serve in the SA army to fight in Air Namibia Angola and Namibia and to enforce apartheid within the country or in other instances to be associated with it even in the remotest way. The advent of a democratic government has strikingly changed the attitude of our gradu­ ates and students in this regard. I thought that it might be of interest that the analysis of the 9,046 ucr medical graduates registered with the SA Medical and Dental Council shows that nearly 70% of them are working or residing in SA. Only 14.6% of our medical graduates over the past 10 years have VFAlMUB 51395 51495 51550 left SA and of these, 16% are working else­ where in Africa. It is common for young doctors all over the world to leave their home 'Trans-Atlantic via Virgin AtlantiC' country for a few years and then to return. This is particularly the case in SA where graduates often work overseas for a year or two to earn foreign currency to pay back loans incurred while studying.
