    • Understanding the current care landscape is crucial for improving health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the care received by non-institutionalized chronically ill individuals in Black, Coloured, and White communities in Cape Town.
    • To identify gaps in optimal care provision and inform recommendations for improvement.

  • Data collected included the type, location, and duration of care received.
  • Care optimality was assessed, and new care recommendations were formulated.

    • Main Results:

    • Care receipt varied by community: 71% of Black, 62% of Coloured, and 86% of White individuals received care.
    • Only 26% of all surveyed individuals were deemed to receive optimal care.
    • New care recommendations were proposed for a significant proportion of each community, with 37% of those recommended for new care currently receiving none.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant deficiencies exist in the comprehensive care of chronically ill persons across diverse communities in Cape Town.
    • There is a pressing need for improved healthcare strategies to ensure optimal and equitable care for all chronically ill individuals.
    • Addressing financial and occupational repercussions is vital for holistic chronic illness management.
