| Summary |
The decision to monitor equity in South Africa goes back to a meeting held in Manila during July 1997, supported by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, which brought together a group of about 25 top level South African policy makers and managers with a similar contingent from a number of South East Asian countries. These countries were selected because of their experience in implementing over the past decade, far reaching efforts to establish more equitable national health systems. One of the most crucial discussions that occurred during this meeting focussed on the importance of being able to measure progress towards equity as prerequisite for countries becoming actively involved in placing equity in the forefront of their agenda. The aim of the Equity Gauge is to establish a set of benchmarks by which progress towards equity in health care provision can be monitored over time, and to facilitate its use and application. |
