The government will ensure that the National Health Insurance bill is tabled in parliament soon, health minister Zweli Mkhize said on Tuesday.
A key aspect of the bill is the future role it envisages for medical schemes, which currently provide coverage to about 8.9-million people. Earlier in 2019, the Hospital Association of SA , which represents the private hospital sector, warned that NHI could lead to the loss of up to 132,000 jobs. “We will be moving speedily to ensure the NHI Bill is tabled in parliament,” said Mkhize. “The NHI Fund requires strong governance mechanisms and improved accountability for the use of allocated funds. These provisions have been included within the structural design of the NHI Fund and they are reflected within the NHI.
“This government is determined to end these inequalities and bring quality healthcare to all, as demonstrated by the establishment of the war room in the presidency. The president has been a champion of universal health coverage through the NHI,” said Mkhize.
Pathetic! Just fix existing hospitals first.
That'll help , can't wait for healthcare to be like home affairs

NHI Bill to be tabled in parliament, says health ministerZweli Mkhize emphasised that the NHI programme will be implemented speedily, despite objections by various stakeholders, including the DA Please not. The state has stuffed up so much of what works, so we really need them to interfere in this space too? With Eskom and now this, the government seem determined to sink SA forever. Soon we will all have to be able to afford to fly overseas for medical treatment like some MP's do at our expense.
