This review evaluates South Africa's performance in achieving health when measured against the World Health Organization's global indicators designed to achieve 'Health for All' by the year 2000. As this programme has not been implemented in South Africa, a need exists for this country to announce indicators and targets. South Africa meets the World Health Organization's targets in terms of health expenditure but available information on many of the other indicators suggest that a large segment of the population falls outside the targets set. Lack of immunisation and poor nutrition are reflected in unacceptably high infant mortality rates and relatively low life expectancies. As accurate data are needed for planning at both national and local levels a national health survey should be conducted.
本综述根据世界卫生组织旨在到2000年实现“人人健康”的全球指标，评估了南非在实现健康方面的表现。由于该计划在南非尚未实施，该国需要公布指标和目标。南非在卫生支出方面达到了世界卫生组织的目标，但许多其他指标的现有信息表明，很大一部分人口未达既定目标。免疫接种不足和营养不良反映在高得令人无法接受的婴儿死亡率和相对较低的预期寿命上。由于国家和地方层面的规划都需要准确数据，因此应开展一次全国性健康调查。
