Healthcare in South Africa is divided into two categories—the public and private sector. The public sector focuses mostly on basic primary healthcare, whereas highly specialized, high tech health services are found in the private sector.
Around 11 percent of the government’s total budget is spent on public health, which is allocated and spent by the nine provinces. Quality and standards of these services varies from province to province.
South Africa burden of disease is considerable. National priority is given to programs for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and increasingly, non-communicable and lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and coronary disease. The Health Department has also singled out the improvement of maternal health.
The private sector, which spends roughly the same amount as the public sector—± USD 1.4 billion on about 17 percent of the population, is run largely on commercial lines and caters to middle and high income earners who are generally members of a medical insurance. Most health professionals in South Africa are found in the private sector. This sector boasts high quality facilities and state-of-the-art equipment.
