Synopsis

The book is intended to be an introductory guide for healthcare practitioners, legal practitioners, healthcare students and law students who are concerned with the delivery of healthcare services in South Africa. The book emphasises the ethical and legal aspects of healthcare in the country while making references to international human rights and ethical standards applicable to healthcare services. As the book is a guide, it does not deal exhaustively with the topics discussed. Instead it aims to give healthcare and legal practitioners some general guidelines.

New edition update:

- an updated ethics chapter that includes a robust section on African indigenous values in the context of health care.

- a chapter on universal health care coverage and the NHI.

- the legislation need to be reviewed and updated.

- a section on alternate dispute resolution.

- the section on research also requires updating.

- the case studies also need to be made more recent to include current contextually relevant issues like the Life Esidimeni Tragedy.
