HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE IN SA (UNISA 2013 USE ONLY)

THIS TITLE ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF TRANSFORMATION AND TRENDS IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN HEALTH SECTOR. ON THE ONE HAND, IT OFFERS 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 TITLE RETAINS A STRONG HISTORICAL THREAD, BUT THE FOCUS IS GENERALLY ON THE NATURE OF TRANSFORMATION PROCESS, GAINS MADE AND FAILURES ENCOUNTERED.
