Acknowledgements
As in previous years, this chapter is very much the product
of collective efforts at all levels of the health system over
many years. In particular we acknowledge the national and
provincial Departments of Health for the use of data from the
District Health Information System and various other databases
and publications. Thank you to Ronel Visser and the
HMIS team for facilitating access to, and interpretation of, the
DHIS data. Once again Mark Blecher of National Treasury
has provided invaluable assistance with the financial indicators,
and Tiny Chababa assisted with North West financial
information. Heather McLeod enabled us to cover new
ground with private sector analysis. We also appreciate the
assistance of Elliot Sello (HST intern) and Fiorenza Monticelli
in creating updated GIS maps, and the perceptive review
comments and strategic input of Peter Barron.
