Why hasn't ANC led South Africa done a better job of providing a health care system for it's people? If there's one country that could have brought about a massive improvement in basic health, it would be South Africa. I'm not even speaking about expensive items, like anti-retroviral programs, but with regards to basic public health measures. 

Although, looking at the disparity between indicators like the percent of births attended by a physician or nurse (a good 92%) and the overall high death rate, makes it seem as if a good part of the problem is still AIDS.
