Mongi James Jokozela May 2012 iii PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS’ CONTRIBUTION TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE: A CASE STUDY FOR SOUTH AFRICA AFTER 1994 Student: Mongi James Jokozela Degree: Magister Commercii in Economics Department: Economics and Econometrics Supervisor: Professor Ronald Mears ABSTRACT PPPs have developed out of a realisation by governments that in order to improve health systems efficiency there is a need to involve the private sector. Governments throughout the world have opted for PPPs to deliver public services, share risks and attain common goals. While the idea of PPPs is not new, it nonetheless has grown in application in recent years especially in developing countries such as South Africa. The neo-liberal GEAR macro-economic policy, that seeked to reduce government spending and to accelerate investment, catalysed the formation of PPPs in South Africa after 1996. The South African health system is a two-tier system consisting of the public sector and private sector. The public health sector is under resourced in terms of health personnel, health resources and funding compared to private healthcare. As a consequence, public health outcomes in South Africa are poor relative to its funding and have deteriorated since 1996, reportedly mainly due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. On the contrary, private healthcare outcomes are amongst the best in the world. As a result, the demand for private healthcare is higher than that of public healthcare, because it is better resourced and offers better quality care. The research investigates the contribution of PPPs to access quality healthcare in South Africa. The study follows the policy, financial and governance approach to review health PPPs. It suggests that the 7 implemented health PPPs contributed iv directly and indirectly to improved access to quality healthcare. It recommends the implementation of health PPPs particularly at local government level, to improve access to quality healthcare. v LIST OF ACRONYMS AND ABBREVATIONS AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ANC African National Congress BBO Buy, build and operate BEE Black Economic Empowerment BOLB Buy, own and lease back BOO Build, own and operate BOOT Build, own, operate and transfer DBFOT Design, build, finance, operate and transfer DFBOT Design, finance, build, operate and transfer DFO Design, finance and operate DBO Design, build and operate DFBO Design, finance, build and operate DHS District Health System DoH Department of Health ECDoH Eastern Cape Department of Health FSDoH Free State Department of Health GEAR Growth, Employment and Redistribution policy GDP Gross Domestic Product GNP Gross National Product HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus IALCH Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital KZNDoH KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health LAC Long-term average costs LBO Lease, build and operate LDoH Limpopo Department of Health NDoH National Department of Health NHI National Health Insurance NHP National Health Plan NHS National Health System NPV Net Present Value O&M Operate and maintenance vi OPD Out-patients department PFI Private Finance Initiatives PHC Primary Health Care PPI Public-private initiative PPP Public-Private Partnership PSC Public Sector Comparator SAC Short-term average cost SMC Short-term marginal cost SPV Special Purpose Vehicle STC Short-term total cost SVI State Vaccine Institute TB Tuberculosis UK United Kingdom USA United States of America WCDoH Western Cape Department of Health WHO World Health Organisation vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENTS PAGE Acknowledgements................................................................................................ii Declaration ........................................................................................................... iii Abstract ................................................................................................................ iv Table of contents ................................................................................................ viii List of figures and tables ...................................................................................... xi List of acronyms and abbreviations ...................................................................... iv Table of contents...................................................................................................viii List of figures and tables........................................................................................xi CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING 1.1 Problem statement 1 1.2 Clarification of concepts 3 1.3 Literature review 5 1.4 Aim and objectives of the study 7 1.5 Hypothesis and research question 8 1.6 Importance of the study 8 1.7 Research design and methodology 8 1.8 Deployment of study 9 CHAPTER 2 THE ECONOMICS OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AND MODELS OF PUBLIC- PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 2.1 Introduction 11 2.2 Health economics 11 2.3 The demand for healthcare 11 viii 2.4 The production and cost of healthcare services 16 2.5 Healthcare markets 19 2.6 Healthcare systems 22 2.7 The economics of Public-Private Partnerships 25 2.7.1 Public-private mix 25 2.7.2 What are PPPs?

    Monitoring and Evaluation Indicators of the HIV & AIDS programme in Grahamstown‘s public sector health care system A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PHARMACY IN PHARMACY PRACTICE of RHODES UNIVERSITY by PHEHELLO ANTHONY MAHASELE January 2011 DEDICATION To the loving Memory of my Grandmother Makolone Masefora Augostina Mahasele 01 January 1919 – 22 May 2008 ii Abstract South Africa is one of the countries hardest hit with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. In response to the epidemic, the South African government adopted the Comprehensive HIV & AIDS Care, Management and Treatment programme strategic plan (CCMT) in 2000 (1) and developed the Operational Plan for CCMT for antiretroviral therapy roll- out in 2003 (2). In order to monitor the progress of the implementation of CCMT, the National Department of Health (NDOH) adopted the Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) framework in 2004 (3). The aim of this study was to assess the HIV & AIDS programme in Grahamstown‘s public sector health care system by using the national M & E indicators of the HIV & AIDS programme. The national M & E framework was used as the data collection tool and available information was collected from various sources such as the District Health Office (DHO), Primary Health Care (PHC) office, accredited antiretroviral sites and the provincial pharmaceutical depot. Group interviews were conducted with key stakeholder health care professionals at the District Health Office, Primary Health Care office, Settlers Hospital and the provincial Department of Health personnel. A one-on- one interview was conducted with the Deputy Director of HIV & AIDS Directorate, monitoring and evaluation in the National Department of Health.
