Development of a Health Plan and Vision for 2020 for the Eastern Cape Department of Health (Archived)

Funder: Department of Health, Eastern Cape Province

The Eastern Cape Department of Health embarked on a long-term strategic vision and planning process called the “Service Development Plan”. HST was contracted by the Department to provide technical assistance. The first phase of this project, the completion of an “Issues Paper” and a consultative process to capture the public’s views and aspirations regarding their health status and service delivery, ended in 2007/08. In the second phase a comprehensive report presenting a 2020 Health Vision Statement, linked to the Health Care Plan for the Eastern Cape Province was prepared. These reports were presented and discussed at the Eastern Cape Department of Health Extended Executive Committee in March 2009.
