Directory of Health Systems Research in South Africa 1995

The Directory is a yearly update of health systems research in South Africa, and provides a profile of research activities, summaries of research and contact addresses of researchers and institutions. The Directory was motivated by the lack of an inventory of health systems research conducted in South Africa. Health systems research focuses on priority health problems, and is also aimed at practical and affordable solutions. The major aim of this publication is to encourage networking of groups involved in similar or related research. The first Directory was published in June 1994 and widely disseminated to research institutions, organisations and individuals that contributed to its compilation as well as others who have sent requests for it to HST. In future the Directory plans to include research findings of reported research projects
