Abstract
The development of medical genetic services is not considered a priority in developing nations. However, many such countries are presently undergoing an epidemiological transition resulting in genetic disorders and birth defects becoming conditions that are attaining public health significance. South Africa is one such country. This paper documents the development, patient profile and experience gained in trying to establish a primary health care genetic/disability service in the country’s rural Northern Province.
