South Africa’s public health system is a network of medical care across the country, providing access to treatment for all South Africans. South Africa is well-known for its medical innovation. South Africa invented the world’s first digital laser and the first full-body X-ray scanner. South Africa also performed the world’s first heart transplant way back in 1967 and more recently the world's first male genital transplant.
