Notes
1. Since 2010, the Department of Health has embarked on what it has termed the “Reengineering of the Primary Health Care Approach” to health care delivery. This approach is driven by the following principles: equity; quality; efficiency; integrated and comprehensive care; community involvement and inter-sectoral collaboration. The approach is central to the delivery of public health services envisaged by the NHI.
2. The Department of Health argues that South Africa is faced with a quadruple burden of disease:
| • | HIV and Aids and TB | ||||
| • | Non-communicable diseases | ||||
| • | Injuries and violence | ||||
| • | High child and maternal mortality rate | ||||
3. The framework included the following documents:
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Reviewing the Evidence. July 2011
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Fulfilling our Commitments 2011–2021 and Beyond. July 2011
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Policy and Service Gaps. July 2011
4. “No one knows what the cancer prevalence and incidence are in South Africa, because the country's cancer registry has not been updated since 1999”. Dr Carl Albrecht, head of Research at the Cancer Association of South Africa in an interview for the Mail & Guardian, August 24 to 30 2012
5. Work has already been done on this with regard to SRHR in the documents mentioned under footnote 3.
