Question pretext
READ TO RESPONDENT: To answer the following question you need to understand what is meant by "Health System Goals". Five main goals have been
identified:
1. Improving the health of the population (population lives longer and with less illness)
2. Minimizing inequalities in health between people (all people should have equal chances of being healthy)
3. Improving responsiveness of the health system (this involves things like how quickly people are attended to; how respectfully people are spoken to by
medical staff; how clearly things are explained; how convenient it is to reach different health services; how clean they are; and how much freedom there is to
choose to see the doctor one wants).
4. Minimizing inequalities/disparities in responsiveness (the health system is equally responsive to all people, no matter their wealth, social status, sex, age or
religious or other beliefs)
5. Fairness in financial contribution (every household should pay a fair share towards the health system)
