✦ Synopsis

The end of the Apartheid system in South Africa will have a major impact on its public sector, and the health service in particular. The key player in the process of transformation, the African National Congress, has put forward proposals for a National Health Service. The need for a management cadre to bring about and maintain these major changes is slowly being recognized. This article considers the impact of the proposed changes for health service management, and argues that management education has to produce people who possess both strategic and operational competencies to effect the transformation of an unequal and divisive health service into one that offers an equitable and high quality service to all South Africans.
