Abstract

The provision and access to affordable healthcare is fundamental to human dignity and development and recognized by the SDG 3 which seeks to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) and access to quality care. This requires significant investments in health infrastructure and financing mechanisms enhance access to health care by low and middle income households. Although healthcare services and infrastructure has traditionally been financed by national governments through annual budgetary allocations, governments in developing economies like South Africa have been limited by fiscal pressures.
