Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The role of health foreign assistance in explaining health outcomes remains an unending debate. The study assessed the relationship between foreign health aid and three selected health indicators of interest: infant mortality rate, under-five mortality rate and life expectancy, with control variables such as government expenditure on health and general medical clinics and public health services in Namibia. The data used was from 1990 to 2013 although there was some missing data. It was found that all health indicators improve wi

The cardio-tocograph, which is a globally accepted method of diagnosis and assessment of the foetal status during labour is preferred to be used in monitoring labouring mothers, especially high- risk patients.

This thesis examines the structure and flow of public funding between the public and private sectors in the South African health system and the consequences thereof for the achievement of equity. The conceptual framework used to undertake the analysis derives from Richard Titmuss’ core theoretical framework, the Social Division of Welfare. The application of the Social Division of Welfare applied to the South African health care context demonstrates how state resources end up benefitting the non-poor and, as a result, reproduce inequality.

Since then, Chile has a public-private mixed health care system, both in financing and delivery of services.

M.Com. (Economics)<br>Access to health care is a basic human right in South Africa. Primary health care is viewed by the South African government as the means to improving access to health care in the country. The concept of primary health care is based on the importance of first contact with a primary health worker. The Department of Health introduced free primary health care because it believes that the most significant barrier to access to health care is poverty. When a service is provided for free there is no income generated from user fees and the issue of funding becomes very important.

To attain the goal of the health care system of improving health, it is essential that healthcare financing is understood.
