Abstract
Since 1994 the South African government has placed equity at the heart of its health policy goals. Yet, how successful have the policies been in reducing inequity? This study provides some answers, based on evidence from household studies carried out between 1992 and 2003. Based on Gilson, L. and McIntyre, D. 2007) Post-apartheid challenges: household access and use of care. International Journal of Health Services 37(4): 673-691
