A key component of both these policies is the development of good governance principles in all health care agencies and organizations. A neglected dimension in these debates has been the role of the public hospital which remains a vital and expensive dimension of service provision. In a case study of a public hospital in South Africa, this paper charts the readiness of its management principles and activities to provide quality health care linked to population health and to contribute to the non-medical determinant of health. Using Taylor’s principles of good governance, we conclude that there is a mixture of good and not so good governance activity. The paper concludes by examining the external constraints on the public hospital and by providing suggestions for future activities.展开更多

There are （1）any cost caused by relative activities from separation between property right and management right must be reckoned in corporate governance cost; （2）cost of activities in the cross area in which governance activities or other activities cannot be distinguished should be reckoned in relative cost according with characters of the main operational activities; （3）cost caused by corporate governance activities of external ＂Stake Holder＂ also should be reckoned in corporate governance cost. After thorough analysis of the above three principles, we define corporate governance cost as the cost caused by governance activities from separation between property right and management right as well as those originated from external stakeholders. Its boundary accords with the boundary of accountant mergence report forms. We briefly offer some analysis methods of corporate governance cost and some advices of disclosure of relevant information.展开更多
