dc.description.abstractThere has been increasing interest in Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) in South Africa in recent years. Community-Oriented Primary Care was first introduced in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in the 1940s.1 It has re-emerged and has been implemented in varied ways and settings across the country, including in KZN, Gauteng and Western Cape. Community-Oriented Primary Care is of relevance to ongoing health reforms that seek to reorganise the South African health system and provide health care services in an equitable manner.
