ABSTRACT
Itinerancy as it relates to health care is a well established practice. In most cases it serves to extend the reach of limited resources to ensure at least a minimum level of care to the largest number of individuals. Non-indigenous itinerant practitioners play an important role where skilled providers are in extremely short supply or non-existent. However, these providers face significant ethical challenges and must practise according to the same general principles that guide the practice of medicine in any setting. Technical competence, communication and consent, utilisation of accepted therapies and appropriate follow-up and delegation of responsibility are essential components of medical and surgical care regardless of practice setting, and remain the responsibilty of the physican.(AU)
