Health Statistics
The objective of this section is to present the best available data on a wide range of health and related indicators.  This should provide health planners and managers with easy access to data from a variety of sources.

	More About Indicators: Where possible data from multiple years are presented. However, caution should be used when attempting comparisons across time and especially between different sources. The notes appended to each data table should be consulted carefully to check for subtle differences in definition and collection methods. Not all sources are comparable. However, particular attention has been paid to detailed listings of the definitions used and the sources for each piece of data presented. Selected indicator data is published in the annual South African Health Review (See PDF info page for more information about the Adobe Acrobat PDF format) 2008 2007 2006 2005 2003/04 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 Key References
