JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa said he was committed to correcting impediments hampering women’s access to quality healthcare, including reproductive rights.
Ramaphosa told hundreds of people gathered in Vryburg in the North West for the National Women’s Day commemoration on Friday that government would ensure that the looming National Health Insurance targeted women as its key beneficiaries.The president told attendees of the women’s day event that their concerns about access to quality health care would be addressed.
“We will also correct whatever is standing in the way of this nation’s women and girls in enjoying quality and accessible healthcare, including reproductive healthcare. In 1994, the president of the newly democratic South Africa, President Mandela declared that pregnant women and children under the age of six would receive free healthcare in public facilities and it happened,” he said.
Ramaphosa added that the implementation of quality healthcare would ensure women were able to have the doors of opportunity opened to them.
Ag no!!! With the state hospitals & personnel u run to date u must b dreaming or lying to our faces. You know that women hv never received good care in most hospitals. The few good ones r far apart. NHS is a way 2 take total control & will bomb in your face.
NHI will prioritize looting and occasionally provide a few sanitary pads and then scream about their success
in a society that ridicules pregnant women and young women who seeks abortion so much is but a dream
every politician must use state hospitals to see the crap they offer the citizens of SA
Here's where the ANC's priorities lie. To see what they can score while EVERYTHING is a disaster.
NHI will prioritise billions in bailouts required.
Another electioneering platitude/trick or lie after destroying our public health system nw the Luthuli house crooks want to obliterate the private healthcare system and their mentor RG Mugabe is dying in Asian hossie and he collapsed his own
Rubbish
Any and everything you say is questionable CyrilRamaphosa don't use womens health as a justifiable notion for your NHI disaster
How?
Pot stront. If you’re sick you’re sick. He indicates with this that there is not enough money/resources.
What has the president done so far ?
Heaven knows!! Whoever decided that cyril is the best to lead SA out of its misery, must get his head read. Cyril is another recipe for disaster. Since taking over he's just fighting for survival and spewing communist 'crap'. He lacks vision, intelligence and backbone.
You are on a slippery slope, cyrilramaphosa and you are dragging us all along!
The ANC is going to kill millions with the “NHI”. The politicians involved will have to face the South African version of the Nuremburg trials. I hope they are aware that they will be held personally accountable. They will be found even in Dubai.
Is that discrimination?
Could the president be sued in his personal capacity if citizens son's die in hospital because of someone's daughter getting priority? NHI HEAVEN HELP S.A. carteblanchetv FMFSouthAfrica SATodayNews mailandguardian PigSpotter Our_DA joburglawyer BrendanMichie
Oh please. It will prioritize more corruption in the system combined with lack of interest and skills. Another disaster waiting to happen.
Bullshitter with an accent
Dear Mr PresidencyZA , just look at the state of public hospitals and the quality of healthcare in SA and stop dreaming - it’s a total mess. Add to this the racial discrimination against Whites and we will see the level of care given. You are denying my rights to freedom.
Is it KFC in the sky? Its not even pie...
That's cool as long as ALL ministers and politicians are forced to use same health system and not fly out to Singapore for medical treatment
This guy can be not serious... What did you see in him that you ended up making him a state president?
This is day light robbery
