The financial toxicity of ageing
Background In sub-Saharan Africa, the epidemiological transition has created a double burden of chronic disease and functional decline. While the relationship between non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure is well-established, less is known about the financial burden of physical frailty and cognitive decline. This study investigates the “financial toxicity” of ageing, distinguishing between the costs of diseas…

Policy exclusion or confusion? Perspectives on universal health coverage for migrants and refugees in South Africa
Notwithstanding the promise of the inclusivity of universal health coverage (UHC), the integration of migrants and refugees into host countries’ health systems remains elusive and contested. In South Africa, there is insufficient scholarly attention on UHC, migrants and refugees, given the country’s strategic importance in Africa and the envisaged implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI) system. In this paper, a social exclusion conc…
Migrants’ perceptions of health system responsiveness and satisfaction with health workers in a South African Province
UHC policies should incorporate migrant patients' perceptions of HSR and the determinants of their satisfaction with health workers
