We regret that an error occurred in the March 2012 issue of SAMJ. The citation in the abstract of the article 'Dyer SJ, Kruger TF. Assisted reproductive technology in South Africa: First results generated from the South African Register of Assisted Reproductive Techniques' should have read 'S Afr Med J 2012;102:167-170.' The online version was corrected on 11 May 2012.
