22nd edition
The purpose of the SAHR has always been to analyse and assess progress and challenges in key areas of the health system, and to propose recommendations for improvement. We are pleased to continue this tradition in the 2019 edition, which presents a unique collection of perspectives on ...the key challenges in implementing universal health coverage (UHC) in South Africa, as analysed by experts in various fields.
Each of the 20 chapters deals with aspects of the UHC journey, dedicated towards an equitable and inclusive national health system that leaves no-one behind. While some authors describe the fundamental changes and practical considerations required to reconfigure the country's health system, others have reflected on specific programmatic areas and have made recommendations from a National Health Insurance (NHI)/UHC lens.

El 30 de enero de 2020, el Director General de la OMS declaró el brote de la enfermedad coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) como emergencia de salud pública de interés internacional (PHEIC por sus siglas en inglés) bajo al Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI 2005), siguiendo el asesoramiento del Com...ité de Emergencia del RSI. El 4 de febrero de 2020, el Director General de la OMS informó al Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas y pidió que se activara la política de gestión de crisis de las Naciones Unidas para establecer un equipo de gestión de crisis (CMT por sus siglas en inglés) que coordinara la ampliación a todo el sistema de las Naciones Unidas para ayudar a los países a prepararse para COVID-19 y responder a esta. Una pandemia es la propagación mundial de una nueva enfermedad. Las pandemias son acontecimientos impredecibles pero recurrentes que pueden afectar considerablemente a la salud, las comunidades y las economías de todo el mundo. La planificación y la preparación son fundamentales para ayudar a mitigar el riesgo y el impacto de una pandemia, y para gestionar la respuesta y la recuperación.

O Plano Nacional de Preparação e Resposta para a doença por novo coronavírus (COVID-19) é uma ferramenta estratégica de preparação e resposta a uma potencial epidemia pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. Este Plano tem como referencial as orientações da Organização Mundial da Saúde e do Centro Europ...eu de Prevenção e Controlo de Doenças, sendo o documento de referência nacional no que respeita ao planeamento da resposta a COVID-19. Apesar do conhecimento atualmente disponível em relação a características do SARSCoV-2 nomeadamente o seu comportamento patogénico, potencial de transmissibilidade e outros fatores determinantes não estar completo, é útil considerar, para efeitos de implementação de medidas, uma analogia entre a atual epidemia por SARS-CoV-2 e a gripe pandémica. Apesar de desafiantes, estas características tornam ainda mais premente o planeamento estruturado para diferentes cenários nesta emergência de saúde pública.
