Abstract
As South Africa embarks on the implementation of NHI to achieve UHC, monitoring inequalities in the health system is of paramount importance. This policy brief provides an outline of the extent of socioeconomic inequality in various dimensions of access to healthcare, using the 2012 South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.-
