Health system reform and path-dependency: how ideas constrained change in South Africa’s national health insurance policy process Policy Sciences (IF 3.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Eleanor Beth Whyle, Jill Olivier
Path-dependency theory says that complex systems, such as health systems, are shaped by prior conditions and decisions, and are resistant to change. As a result, major policy changes, such as health system reform, are often only possible in policy windows—moments of transition or contextual crisis that re-balance social power dynamics and enable the consideration of new policy ideas. However, even
