| Summary |
An important purpose of the South African Health Review (SAHR) is to serve as a
knowledge resource on the development of the national health system, and to contribute
to the assessment of the implementation of health policies. The Review seeks to reflect
on achievements made and challenges and gaps that impact on the transformation
and strengthening of the South African health system. In 1996, the SAHR posed the
question: What has changed for the poor, rural woman or child who presents to the
clinic? Ten years on, this 2006 Review attempts to answer that question in some depth
with a specific focus on Maternal, Child and Women's Health. |
