SA's healthcare system on its knees and in need of reform | The Citizen

A new study has yet again pointed out South Africa’s healthcare system failures and emphasised an urgent need for an overhaul. The study was conducted during the changing healthcare climate as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The research report by public interest law centre Section 27 and the Concentric Alliance found that not only was the health system characterised by inequality in access to services but that in some cases it was almost overwhelmed by the pandemic.

A new study has yet again pointed out South Africa’s healthcare system failures and emphasised an urgent need for an overhaul.The by public interest law centre Section 27 and the Concentric Alliance found that not only was the health system characterised by inequality in access to services but that in some cases it was almost overwhelmed by the pandemic.The study noted that ‘fatal’ healthcare system failures, like the extended closure of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, nearly brought the public health sector to its knees.

Researchers noted that stakeholders were wary and did not trust each other’s motives and opinions with regards to NHI, warning that this stagnation was fatal as the system was under immense strain and its inequities well documented. “Some people continue to receive insufficient care while others are over-serviced in the interests of profit. Healthcare workers are burning out. Uncertainty about changes that may never come is causing jitters in the middle class and impatience among those who cannot imagine a changed system leaving them worse off,” the report states.

Leave private healthcare alone . We don’t use government money . We use after tax money . Lay off or the whole medical service will collapse . Stop killing pods of excellence .

Privatization is the only answer!
