- Description
- Health is a basic human right enshrined in the South African Constitution. It is the responsibility of government to ensure that the nation is healthy because good health is a prerequisite for social and economic development as well as an outcome of that process. Special attention on the healthcare needs of rural communities should be given because these communities were the worst affected by the legacy of the apartheid regime. Moses Mabida community is no exception. Since the advent of democracy, work has been done to ensure that adequate primary health care services are delivered to previously disadvantaged communities such as Moses Mabida. To monitor progress on health care service delivery, evaluation of these services is needed. The evaluation of these services will help identify the strengths and weaknesses so as to come up with quality improvement strategies, hence this study. This study takes form of an assessment survey involving a literature review and a survey of members of the Moses Mabida community who depend on the clinic for their health care needs. The literature identified best practice models of primary health care and these were used as an analytic tool to determine to what extent the primary health care services at Moses Mabida comply with national and international standards. It has been shown that the primary health care services at Moses Mabida Clinic largely comply with national and international standards although several recommendations have been presented for consideration.
