Our new constitution of the Republic of South Africa declares under Chapter 10, Section 195 on Basic Values and Principles Governing Public Administration that: Transparency must be fostered by providing the public with timely, accessible and accurate information. This mandate can only be realised if we have an appropriate and effective information system at all levels of the health system that provides accurate information on the health status and trends in health status of the population.
