Documents & Resources

It is with great pride and honour to be a gate keeper of this website. This site takes pride in providing research-based and thought-provoking documents. The focus, in terms of content, has been more on the quality of information, resulting in carefully selected topics covering healthcare issues ranging from nursing and quality to in-depth healthcare analyses of medical inflation and its underlying drivers. Not only has the site been a valuable reference hub over the years, it has also become the kind of thermometer for the various burning issues raging in private healthcare today.

Nonetheless, this internet site proves that the private healthcare industry is a complex sector, which is over-simplified in popular newspapers. The Hospital Association of South Africa trusts that the site will add value and perspective to the intricacies of private healthcare and show how new developments impact on private hospitals.
