History

Car pass with the cross symbol was first issued to doctors a long time

back. It was issued to make a unique identity for doctors to maintainuninterrupted and quality patient care, especially during emergency and

on call services.

However, with time, passes with cross symbols were issued to many

other categories without any basis. As result currently they are being

used by many individuals and organizations without any relevancy to its

original objective of maintaining uninterrupted and quality patient care.

Moreover, doctors car pass is misused often by these individuals and

there were instances where it has been used to transport illegal drugs. As

result doctors car pass has lost its long held respect from the society and

from the legal authorities. Therefore now doctors are facing various

difficulties to carry out our on call and emergency services.

Background

GMOA has discussed this issue repeatedly in the past without definite

action to safeguard this privilege. Current GMOA made a land mark

victory on the issue by obtaining legal authority to have a unique car pass

for doctors with the cross symbol. Process of receiving a legal authority to

a trade mark is a lengthy procedure which usually takes 3-4 years.

GMOA acted professionally to expedite the procedure completing the

process with in few months. Now our mark is registered under the

provisions of the intellectual property Act. No 36 of 2003. GMOA also wonthe right to take legal actions against unauthorized use of our mark. We

have developed a regulatory mechanism to issue doctors car passes

without room for misuse.
