NHI Models by Researchers
A costing entitled “Brief overview of preliminary modelling of NHI resource implications” was produced by Di McIntyre, John Ataguba and Sue Cleary All are from the Health Economics Unit, University of Cape Town. http://heu-uct.org.za/
The report was produced as part of Work package 5 of the SHIELD project but is not yet on the web-site. The SHIELD project web-site is at: http://web.uct.ac.za/depts/heu/SHIELD/about/about.htm
Material for a public audience that is available is in the form of short information sheets. “The HEU [has prepared] information sheets to contribute to public debate on health care financing in South Africa. They are written in non-technical language to be accessible to a wide range of people.”

A survey which informed the utilisation for this costing was the work by John Ataguba and Di McIntyre:
Ataguba, J., & McIntyre, D. (2009). Financing and benefit incidence in the South African health system: Preliminary results (Health Economics Unit Working Paper 09-1). January 2009. Health Economics Unit, School of Public Health and Family Medicine, University of Cape Town.
