Overview of the questions and statements addressing the South African health care consumers in the survey.

WHO building block	Survey question
Health Service Delivery	The South African Constitution protects the right to health for all people living in SA. Free access to health care services is your right.
Health Workforce	Do you spend hours waiting in line at the clinic every month? South Africa’s public hospitals/clinics need more staff, for example, nurses, doctors, and pharmacists.
Health Information	Prevention is cheaper than treatment! The SA government must provide more health promotion and illness prevention education.
Medicine and Technology	Please give suggestions on how you would like health care services in your community to be improved through the NHI?
Health Care Financing	In SA, over 85% of the population relies on public health care, while only 15% can afford private health care. Yet each sector has almost the same amount of money to spend!
Leadership and Governance	Corruption is a major problem everywhere! How can we prevent corruption from happening in the NHI?
