A methodology for resource allocation in health care for South Africa. Part I. Rationale and prerequisites.
A strategy for the equitable allocation of health care resources is needed in South Africa. The existing health administrative structures are obstacles to achieving this goal. An attempt is made to describe a framework in which the prerequisites for the equitable allocation of resources are a major restructuring of health services into a number of regional health authorities in a unified health service, and to establish a formula which is adapted from the RAWP (Resource Allocation Working Party) model used in the UK.
