Healthcare
The public health care system in South Africa needs to be supported by partnerships between government, business and society as this is essential to achieve and sustain quality health care for all. Currently there is a critical shortage of staff, skills, training, services, facilities, transport, equipment, education programmes and medicines within the health system.
The Growth Foundation plays a vital role in bringing together all the role players in financing, developing and implementing projects to manage service delivery gaps in healthcare. A focus remains in the area of healthy lifestyles and prevention projects that raise the awareness of wellness and fitness in communities. The impact on this is the decrease in healthcare costs, with emphasis is placed on developing and maintaining healthy South Africans.
