MHS? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? a Constitutional phenomena - powers and functions of municipalities [section 156 (1)(a) Part B of Schedule 4] Primary Health Care services minimal “midi” maximal the original possibilities (definitions) previous health activities at municipalities - mainly local (B’s) and metro (A’s) municipalities - clinics (p&p) and environmental health services - focused on the urban areas (prov s served non-urban) - included “own” funds

MINISTER OF PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT MHS devolution set for 1st July 2004 A and C municipalities responsible C’s may delegate to B municipalities SOME IMPORTANT DECISIONS Health MinMEC >> NAT. HLTH BILL (Aug 2003) MHS is a “list of environmental health services”

WHAT IS MHS? decisions!! MHS IS !!?? IMPLEMENTING MHS the what the how impacts THE PRESENTATION

MHS is ………. a “list of environmental health services”.. devolved to District and Metro municipalities.. as from 1st July which can be delegated to Local municipalities (i.e. agency basis) Consider this in the light of the new environmental health policy and LGs position for intersectoral collaboration a “list of environmental health services”..

“list of (9) environmental health services” water quality monitoring food control waste management health surveillance of premises surveillance and prevention of communicable diseases, (excluding immunisations) vector control environmental pollution control disposal of the dead chemical safety EH services retained as Provincial responsibilities Other EH services delivered by municipalities ?? port health control of hazardous substances malaria control

WHAT IS MHS? decisions!! MHS IS !!?? IMPLEMENTING MHS the what how impacts THE PRESENTATION the how

Implementing MHS … (the how) RESOURCES MONITORING & EVALUATION CO-ORDINATION & POLICY DEVELOPMENT are there monitoring tools and an EHIS system in place? MHS - a LG competency (DPLG) but ….. NDoH responsible for the health of the population (provinces?) no unfunded mandates!

Cost of delivery actually higher with support staff.

WHAT IS MHS? decisions!! MHS IS !!?? IMPLEMENTING MHS the what the how impacts THE PRESENTATION impacts

Implications - actual and potential insecurity and demotivation lack of clarity - on LG budgeting processes - transfers and secondments - current status quo arrangements potential fragmentation enhanced intersectoral coordination urban / rural differences in MH services training of future EHPs

Implications - actual and potential MHS – a Constitutional disaster or golden opportunity ? - stemming the flow - preventative and promotive “high % diseases by environmental factors” - developmental EHS / MHS - intersectoral co-operation - LG’s accountability to the people

IMPLEMENTING THE MUNICIPAL HEALTH SERVICES (MHS) POLICY IN SOUTH AFRICA “Strong leadership, the necessary political will and a high level of professionalism can ensure effective implementation of the MHS policy leading to improved health status of the community.”
