Abstract
The South African Medical Journal (SAMJ) is an established source
of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) serving the local healthcare
community. CPGs link professional societies and clinicians by
guiding best practice through the collation and interpretation of the
best available evidence. Not only are CPGs important in standardising
the quality of patient care, but they also assist with medicine selection
and resource allocation decisions, adjudicating medicolegal claims,
and promoting equity by influencing medicine access and health
system organisation.
