Our valued expert views from our analysts provide you with key opinions not found anywhere else:

A two-tiered healthcare system currently operates in South Africa, compromised of the under-resourced public sector (which supports the majority of the population) and expensive private sector (which attracts the wealthy minority). This divergence is attributed mainly to disparity in the provision and standard of healthcare services, infrastructure and resource allocation between the public and private sectors.Against this backdrop, despite high expenditure on healthcare (8.8% of GDP in 2012), health outcomes remain poor in comparison with similar middle-income countries. To abolish this inequality, the African National Congress (ANC) is in the process of implementing National Health Insurance (NHI) to realize its goal of universal healthcare in the country, aiming to provide the population with the required health services while making financial contributions according to an individual's ability to pay. This report gives a picture of the current state of regional healthcare systems, trends and forecasts within the nine provinces of South Africa.
