  4. 1. VISION AND MISSION VISION An accessible, caring and high quality health system. MISSION To improve health status through the prevention of illnesses and the promotion of healthy lifestyles and to consistently improve the health care delivery system by focusing on access, equity, efficiency, quality and sustainability.

  5. 2. CONTEXT OF HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY • National DoH Strategic Plan for 2010/11-2012/13 evolves in a context of several key issues facing the health sector namely: • Health is one of the 5 key priorities of government for 2009-2014; • South Africa faces a quadruple Burden of Disease (BoD) consisting of: • HIV & AIDS and TB; • High Maternal and Child Mortality; • Non-Communicable Diseases and; • Violence and Injuries; • In 2007, South Africa had only 0.7% of the world’s population, but accounted for 17% (about 5.5 million people) of the global burden of HIV infections (The Lancet, August 2009);

  6. 2. CONTEXT OF HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY • Despite spending 8.7% of its GDP on health, and spending more on health than any other African country, South Africa is one of only 12 countries in which mortality rates for children younger than 5 years have increased since 1990 (The Lancet, August 2009); • Life expectancy in South Africa has declined: • For the period 1985-1994, StatsSA estimated life expectancy at birth at about 54,12 years for males and 64,38 years for females. • For 1996, the estimates were 52,11 years for males and 61,6 years for females. • The first set of figures provided a pre-AIDS baseline, whilst the second set reflected a period when HIV/AIDS was emerging as a key health issue. • In 2009, StatsSA estimated life expectancy at 53.5 years for males and 57.2 years for females (StatsSSA, 2009) • Urgent need exists to accelerate progress towards health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); • South Africa has a predominantly curative health system; which places less emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion; • Urgent need exists to enhance Health Systems Effectiveness at all levels.

  50. 13. CONCLUSION • National DoH Strategic Plan 2010/11-2012/13 reflects interventions to improve health service delivery and improve health outcomes for all South Africans. • National DoH Strategic Plan 2010/11-2012/13 reflects ambitious targets - Health is one of 5 key priorities of Government for 2009-2014. • A sector wide plan will be produced by end of May 2010, which will reflect the contribution of the entire sector - National and 9 Provincial DoHs - to the achievement of the 20 deliverables outlined in the foregoing sections. • Despite the growth in the resource allocation for conditional grants (especially for HIV and AIDS), the overall allocation for the National Department for Operational costs declines by 6%. • This means we must do more with less, without compromising quality; • Where possible, donor funding will have to be mobilised, managed appropriately, and strategies developed to ensure sustainability of donor funded projects.
