这项研究试图分析南非公共医疗保健需求中种族差异的影响,使用2018年综合家庭调查(GHS)数据。完成这项工作是为了了解种族在种族隔离后的南非是否仍然在获得医疗保健方面发挥作用。Logistic回归分析显示,种族显著解释了公共医疗保健需求的差异,与其他种族相比,白人人口对公共医疗需求的可能性最低。因此,该研究指出,种族差异在评估公共医疗保健状况后,仍然在提供医疗保健方面发挥关键作用。因此,该研究建议,南非政府应制定政策,鼓励平等获得基本服务,以解决该国的种族不平等问题。
The study sought to analyse the influence of racial differences in the demand for public healthcare in South Africa, using the 2018 General Household Survey (GHS) data. This was completed to understand if race still plays a role in access to healthcare in post-apartheid South Africa. Logistic regression analysis revealed that race significantly explained the variance in demand for public healthcare, with White populations having the lowest probability of demand for public healthcare compared to other races. Consequently, the study noted that racial differences still play a critical role in affording one access to healthcare after assessing the situation obtaining in public healthcare. Therefore, the study recommends that the government of South Africa should create policies that encourage equal access to basic services in addressing racial inequality in the country.
