The literature on the history of family medicine as an academic discipline locates its beginning with the establishment of two faculties linked to the Royal College of General Practice in 1958. However, the history of Community Oriented Primary Care documents, how the Kark's moved from Pholela in KwaZulu-Natal, were involved with the establishment of the Natal Medical School in Durban. As part of this a Department of Social, Preventative and Family Medicine was established in 1956 with Dr Sidney Kark as its first Head of Department. The South African Academy of Family Practice and Primary Care established in 1980 explicitly orientated itself in relation to public healthcare (PHC). We need to re-claim the history of Community Oriented Primary Care as part of the history of family medicine and proudly trace our current ethos and values to the seminal work of the Kark's.
家庭医学作为一门学科的历史文献将其起源追溯到 1958 年与皇家全科医学院相关联的两个系的建立。然而，社区导向的初级保健文档记录了 Kark 一家如何从夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的菲莱拉搬到德班的纳塔尔医学院。作为其中的一部分，1956 年成立了社会、预防和家庭医学系，Sidney Kark 博士担任第一任系主任。1980 年成立的南非家庭医学和初级保健学院明确将自己定位为与公共医疗保健（PHC）相关。我们需要重新夺回社区导向的初级保健的历史，将其作为家庭医学历史的一部分，并自豪地将我们当前的精神和价值观追溯到 Kark 一家的开创性工作。
