South African Medical Association (SAMJ) — publication fee waivers
The South African Medical Journal's own fee page states the APC (R8,950 incl. VAT) applies as a flat charge “regardless of length, colour, figures, or other elements,” and does not mention a waiver or discount process anywhere — for any country or circumstance.
