Covid-19 will continue to dominate headlines in 2022, but from national health insurance to the availability of a new HIV prevention injection, it will also be an important year for other areas of health service delivery, governance and reforms in South Africa.
Meanwhile, the disciplinary processes of six health department officials implicated in the Digital Vibes scandal who were suspended with full pay last year are ongoing. Among them is deputy director-general of health Dr Anban Pillay. A critical issue to watch this year is whether MPs take these inputs on board and make significant changes to the bill, or simply force through a mostly unchanged version of the bill.

The public now has until February 28 to make submissions on the proposals in the discussion document. Threadbare budgets are also impacting important entities of the national health department, such as the Office of Health Standards Compliance , which – by its own admission – is severely hamstrung by budget cuts and staff shortages. This means it cannot fulfil its mandate of ensuring that health facilities comply with set national norms and standards.
Last month the injection was approved by the US Food & Drug Administration – but several things still need to happen before it is registered and available here. Either way, whether the injection reaches our clinics in 2022 provides a perfect test of whether there is any substance to the popular rhetoric of bringing the urgency of Covid-19 to HIV.
The reality, of course, is that simply getting back to where we were pre-Covid-19 is not good enough. The TB response was struggling even then. There are a few specifics we will be looking out for this year. First, the rollout of 3HP will hopefully go to scale this year. It has been disappointingly slow so far.
