520 "During the apartheid era, thousands of South African
political activists, militants, and refugees fled arrest
by crossing into neighbouring southern African countries.
Although they had escaped political oppression, many
required medical attention during their period of exile.
An Ambulance on Safari describes the efforts of the
African National Congress (ANC) to deliver emergency
healthcare to South African exiles and, in the same stroke,
to establish political legitimacy and foster anti-
apartheid sentiment on an international stage. Banned in
South Africa from 1960 to 1990, the ANC continued its
operations underground in anticipation of eventual
political victory, styling itself as a "government in
waiting." In 1977 it created its own Health Department,
which it presented as an alternative medical service and
the nucleus of a post-apartheid healthcare system. By
publicizing its own democratic policies as well as the
racist practices of healthcare delivery in South Africa,
the Health Department won international attention for its
cause and provoked widespread condemnation of the
apartheid state. While the global campaign was unfolding
successfully, the department's provision of health care on
the ground was intermittent as patients confronted a
fledgling medical system experiencing various growing
pains. Still, the legacy of the department would be long,
as many medical professionals who joined the post-
apartheid Department of Health in South Africa had been
trained in exile during the liberation struggle. With
careful attention to both the international publicity
campaign and on-the-ground medical efforts, An Ambulance
on Safari reveals the intricate and significant political
role of the ANC's Health Department and its influence on
the anti-apartheid movement. "--|cProvided by publisher.
