South Africa’s population has multiple diverse health needs. As the government works toward progressive realisation of the Constitutional right to health care and the promises of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), there will be challenging decisions about coverage of health services and health interventions with a limited budget.

Development of the SAVE-UHC Ethics Framework started with the high-level principles outlined in the NHI White Paper in order to translate and apply them to decision-making for specific health interventions.
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is an increasingly popular process for using evidence to guide policy decisions about what health interventions to include in National Health Insurance schemes and benefits packages.
