Who runs health services in Johannesburg?
The major public hospitals are run by the Gauteng Provincial Administration. The city is responsible for public health issues such as immunisation, maternal and child health, AIDS education and prevention, and inspecting premises such as restaurants for health hazards.
What is the city s policy on health issues?
A common vision for the City of Johannesburg has been established - One City One Health System . The history of health care service delivery in Johannesburg has been characterised by fragmentation and poor quality care to communities. The emphasis is now on primary health care through the district health system with a strong focus on preventative health service delivery that is accessible and effective.
