DESCRIPTION:The report on Fiscal Policies for Health will be launched on 24 January 2017.The inquiry preceding the report was a consultative research endeavour, which explored the potential uses of fiscal policy tools to address and prevent disease in South Africa.
<br />The inquiry was structured around a research secretariat housed at PRICELESS SA at the University of the Witwatersrand in the School of Public Health, and a&nbsp;high level advisory panel. The report documents the findings of the Inquiry on Fiscal Policies for Health.
<br />It was found that the preliminary evidence that fiscal measures – including taxes and subsidies – can improve health in the short-term without relying either on additional budgetary allocations to Ministries of Health or on public health systems to work more efficiently, as well as raise revenue.
<br />These fiscal measures could thus help to reduce inequalities in health and contribute to progress towards meeting numerous sustainable development goal targets.
