Sidney Lionel Kark (22 October 1911 – 18 April 1998) was a medical doctor and Professor in social medicine and public health. Together with his wife, Emily Kark, they led the development of what became known as community oriented primary care (COPC). This began in the early 1940s when they established a community health centre in Pholela, an impoverished area in the province of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Their work was later used as a model to shape community health centres in many countries.[1]
