Strategic Goal
1. Overhaul Provincial Health
Services.
2. Improve the efficiency and
quality of health services.
3. Reduce morbidity and
mortality due to communicable
diseases and non-communicable
conditions and illnesses.
Rationale
An efficient and well functioning health
care system with the potential to
respond to the burden of disease and
health needs in the Province.
Improved compliance with legislative/
policy requirements and Core Standards
for quality service delivery in order to
improve clinical/ health outcomes.
Reduction of preventable/ modifiable
causes of morbidity and mortality at
community and facility level
contributing to a reduction in morbidity
and mortality rates.
13
rational criteria include:
» the extent of the disease burden;
» the availability of interventions to alleviate this
burden;
» the potential to reduce or alleviate poverty;
» the cost (affordability) and cost-effectiveness
(value-for money) of available interventions;
» the social, economic and political consequences of
failing to implement the interventions.
