tailieunhanh - The Impact of HIV/AIDS on the Health Sector

This report emanates from the results of a study that examined the impact of HIV/AIDS on the public and private health facilities in South Africa, and outlines the subsystems that are affected. Both public and private sector health facilities have reported an increase in the number of patients seeking clinical care for people living with HIV/AIDS, leading to increased admissions to medical and paediatric wards and increased workloads. This study addresses these issues and makes recommendations for managing the HIV/AIDS case load. 0%ContentsList of Tables. | THE IMPACT OF HEALTH SECTOR Free download from NATIONAL SURVEY OF HEALTH PERSONNEL AMBULATORY AND HOSPITALISED PATIENTS AND HEALTH FACILITIES 2002 O Shisana ScD E Hall MA KR Maluleke MSc DJ Stoker Math et Phys Dr C Schwabe Dip Stat M Colvin MBChB J Chauveau MSc C Botha MPH T Gumede BA Hons H Fomundam PharmD N Shaikh MCHD T Rehle MD PhD E Udjo PhD D Gisselquist PhD A collaborative effort of Report prepared for the South African Department of Health Funded by DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH and Acknowledgements impact of HIV on the health sector I wish to thank the Cluster Health Information Evaluation and Research for initiating and guiding this study on The Impact of HIV AIDS on the Health Sector and in particular Dr L Makubalo and Ms P Netshidzivhani for their technical contributions to the study.
