Among the four countries, insights on the government performance on enhancing basic healthcare services ranged extensively, with a declining trend in more recent years. Citizens of Botswana were most satisfied with their governments' performance, with roughly two out of three people reporting their contentment. Moreover, more than half of the Basotho believed that their government was not doing "very well" or "fairly well", while Angolans satisfaction was the lowest with only 24 percent seeing their government doing well on improving the medical care services.
