Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and healthcare in South Africa attempts to capture the essence of transformation and trends in the South African health sector. It offers, on the one hand, an overview of recent and current developments in the South African health care system, and on the other, of trends in the health status of the South African population. The book is a follow-up to the well-known Health care in South Africa - structure and dynamics (Van Rensburg, Fourie & Pretorius 1992), published just before the transition to a democratic society. The book retains a strong historical thread, but the focus is generally on the nature of the transformation process, gains made and failures encountered.

Book excerpt: Since the private health sector is an important, and often dominant, provider of health services in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is the job of governments as the stewards of the health system to engage with it. Increasing the contributions that the existing private health sector is making to public health is an important, but often neglected, element of meeting the daunting health-related challenges facing African nations. This Report presents newly collected data on how and how effectively each country in the Africa region is engaging the respective private health sectors; and how the engagement compares across the region. While the approach taken by governments varies greatly between countries, there is much room for improvement in the Africa region overall to engage more effectively and room for exchange of ideas and good practices on how to do so. Improved solutions on the policy/regulatory side should be supported by effective organization of the private sector itself and by adjustments in donor programs that take the dynamics of the private health sector better into account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can private health insurance fill gaps in publicly financed coverage? Does it enhance access to health care or improve efficiency in health service delivery? Will it provide fiscal relief for governments struggling to raise public revenue for health? This book examines the successes, failures and challenges of private health insurance globally through country case studies written by leading national experts. Each case study considers the role of history and politics in shaping private health insurance and determining its impact on health system performance. Despite great diversity in the size and functioning of markets for private health insurance, the book identifies clear patterns across countries, drawing out valuable lessons for policymakers while showing how history and politics have proved a persistent barrier to effective public policy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the study is to analyse the challenges faced by different stakeholders in the standardisation of prices in private healthcare in South Africa. The definition of pricing is discussed, and the pricing models used by both the public service and the private healthcare sector are explored and compared. Different legislation applicable to healthcare is analysed, including the envisaged National Health Insurance. The study looks at how medical schemes have found a way of controlling pricing through legal concepts designed by the government, concepts such as the Designated Service Providers and Managed Care Protocols. Future plans aimed at reaching consensus in the setting of prices is also discussed, including the government¿̐ưs Discussion Document: The Determination of Pricing in the Private Sector. The study also looks at how the courts have become the role players in the arguments about the pricing of private healthcare. Each chapter is set on its own topic that deals with a specific section of the topic. There is an introduction to each chapter, ending with a relevant conclusion at the end. Where Abbreviations were used, the abbreviation is usually preceded by the full meaning of the letters in order to reduce the size of the document.

Download or read book Collaborative capacity development to complement stroke rehabilitation in Africa written by Quinette Louw and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly book focuses on stroke in Africa. Stroke is a leading cause of disability among adults of all ages, contributing significantly to health care costs related to long term implications, particularly if rehabilitation is sub-optimal. Given the burden of stroke in Africa, there is a need for a book that focuses on functioning African stroke survivors and the implications for rehabilitation within the African context. In addition, there is a need to progress with contextualised, person-centred, evidence-based guidance for the rehabilitation of people with stroke in Africa, thereby enabling them to lead socially and economically meaningful lives. The research incorporated in the book used a range of primary and secondary methodological approaches (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, descriptive studies, surveys, health economics, and clinical practice guideline methodology) to shed new insights into African-centred issues and strategies to optimise function post-stroke.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizing the keynote addresses and deliberations that emerged from a recent colloquium, this account illustrates the need for universal access to healthcare in South Africa. Arguing that providing this service is the responsibility of the South African government, the policy analysis unit of the Human Sciences Research Council hosted this colloquium in order to facilitate debate on the subject, initiating policy dialogue and formulating ideas for those involved in health-policy development. Divided into three sections, this overview provides a discussion of the context for policy debates on health as well as a concise summary of four key themes: the reform path since 1994, critical options for health within the context of a comprehensive system of social security, local and international evidence on health-system models, and health-systems reform and stakeholder engagement. Recommendations for improving implementation and taking the process of policy development forward are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in private health care for the middle classes has resulted in deeply segregated and unequal health care, with poor people being relegated to under-resourced and unresponsive public systems, and wealthy minorities receiving world-class treatment at very high prices. - from the Introduction *** This book examines the scope for health care reform in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Both countries are undergoing significant attempts at reforming inequitable, private sector-dominated, health care systems in the context of fragile, negotiated, social settlements. In South Africa, the government is moving towards introducing a national health insurance scheme that holds the historic promise of introducing social solidarity and effective health care for all its citizens. However, key aspects of the proposed scheme remain unresolved and need to be widely debated. In Zimbabwe, mandatory national health insurance has been discussed for decades without any conclusion being reached or a system implemented. This option needs to be revisited as the economy stabilizes and confidence in governance improves. Based on extensive research, the contributors to this volume examine health care reform in historical context, analyze the views of key stakeholders, and reflect on current proposals for better health financing and more people-centered health systems, based on the principles of universality and social solidarity. Universal Health in Southern Africa is essential reading for academics, health professionals, and policy makers concerned with the historical, ideological, and institutional background to the current policy debate on the commercialization of health care and proposed alternatives, such as a national health system.

Download or read book International Comparison of South African Private Hospital Price Levels written by Luca Lorenzoni and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health system in South Africa is unique in many ways. South Africa spends 41.8% of total health expenditures on private voluntary health insurance - more than any OECD country - but only 17% of the population - mostly high income citizens - can afford to purchase private insurance. Given the magnitude of private health expenditures, the activities in the private health care market have an important impact on the functioning of the health care system as a whole. Medical schemes (private health insurance) in South Africa mainly finance care that is predominantly delivered by private providers (i.e., private hospitals, specialists, general practitioners, pharmacies). Therefore, these schemes primarily finance an alternative to seeking care in the public sector and offer services that duplicate those available in the public sector.

Book excerpt: One major outcome of State President F W de Klerk's reforms has been the formal desegregation of hospitals. This book shows how hospitals began to desegregate themselves while Mr de Klerk and his collegues were still committed to apartheid in health. It analyses this process of reform from below, and assesses the role of protest and lobbying my medical students and practitioners. This book also shows how black access to primary health care could be improved by better co-operation between non-government and government providers of such care. Finally, the politically controversial question of private sector involvement in the provision of health care to blacks is studied.
