The Health Systems Trust (HST) is a leading role-player in the South African public health arena focusing on health systems strengthening, research, and strategic support to the implementation of priority health programmes. Established in April 1992 on the brink of democracy in South Africa, HST has played a significant role in the evolution of the national health system. Today our strength lies in the knowledge, insight and experience we harness through synergising our research and implementation outputs towards a healthy life for all. HST’s core is focused on strengthening health systems, conducting evidence-based research and supporting the implementation of key health programmes in an effort to create health equity for all. We generally focus on addressing health challenges within the South African context.
