Health and social security

The health and social security chapter presents 78 pages of detail on the South African health care and social security systems. A section on health resources and services covers expenditure, access to medical insurance, medical personnel, hospitals, rates of immunisation, blood transfusion, circumcisions, and condom use. Also included is a section that tracks policy matters and provides information on the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme and the ongoing controversy concerning medical aids and prescribed minimum benefits. The health indicators section presents figures on mortality, nutrition, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases.

2012-Survey----Health-and-Social-Security-(WEB)-1.jpg The social security section provides an overview of how much is spent on social security and to whom this money goes. Data on social grant beneficiaries is available by type of social grant and by province and goes back to 1994. There is also information on how much South Africa spends on social security both as a proportion of total government expenditure and as a proportion of GDP. The section concludes with figures on care options for orphaned children, where trends in foster care, adoptions, and child and youth care centres are highlighted.
