Where art thou, South African doctor?

If you're looking for a South African doctor, head for Australia. A recent informal survey by a South African doctor in Australia, found 5 South African radiologists, 2 psychiatrists, 1 general surgeon, 1 gynaecologist and 2 specialists in Perth alone. In Goomalling there is an Afrikaans GP, as well as one in Wongon Hills. There is a female GP, formerly from Koppies, in Dalwallinu. Her former partner in Koppies now works in Corrigan. Geraldton has a few GPs as well as a South African pediatrician. Narrogin has 7 Afrikaans doctors. And this is only in Western Australia! Never mind the amount of South African doctors found all over Canada. To practise overseas, South African doctors have to obtain a Certificate of Status from the South African Council of Health Professions. In 2000 there were 878 such applications. In 2001, 3 707; in 2002, 4 299 and in 2003, 5 995 applications.
