Phil.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1998. The Medical Association of South Africa (MASA) was formed in 1927, having been established by the British Medical Association in 1880. MASA was an existing organisation who saw the introduction and the implementation of Apartheid in South Africa, particularly the years between 1950 and 1990. Over this time a number of gross human rights violations involving the medical profession and Apartheid occurred, including the death of Mr. Steve Biko at the hands of security police (an incident in which 2 doctors deliberately falsified evidence). Over this same period of time the medical profession - and their representative association (MASA) - were supposedly representing the medical profession, and acting on behalf of doctors. Yet it appears as if very little was done by MASA to address these and other related issues.
