dc.description.abstractHealth policies, legislation and regulations introduced after independence supported goals of equity, promoting free health and exemptions in health care provision. However, the key document, Planning for Equity in Health, was sectoral in nature. Operational responsibilities were decentralised but Ministry headquarters retained control of resources. In general, the health sector appears to have been particularly prejudiced by inflation and the devaluation of local currency resulting from economic reforms. Some claim that decline in life expectancy and an increase in infant mortality were a result of the Economic Structural Adjustment Program (ESAP) but others point to poor governance and the AIDS epidemic.en
