About
the Mine Medical Professionals’ Association
of South Africa
The Mine Medical Officers’ Association (MMOA) was founded in 1921 to serve as the representative organisation of the group of medical practitioners whose task it was to watch over the health of a great army of workers who do the manual labour in South African Mines.
Proceedings of the association were published from 1921 without break for over sixty years. They form an invaluable record of observations made, clinical procedures applied and the general treatment of a very large body of men.
The first 50 years of the Association is covered in the book “Doctors of the Mines” published in 1971. The Chapter on “Prophylaxis and Therapy” covers Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Silicosis, Enteric fever, Scurvy, Leg Ulcers, Hookworm, Sporotrichosis and Heat Stroke. A second book on the history of the MMPA is now in preparation.
In 2002, the Association changed its name to the Mining Medical and Other Health Care Professionals Association and was again changed in 2009 to the Mine Medical Professionals’ Association.
