SA doctors express concern over withheld NHI white paper

Dr Mark Sonderup, Vice-Chairman of the South African Medical Association says that as long as the NHI White Paper is held back, medical professionals will remain sceptical of the NHI-model as details remain speculative and sketchy. Watch the video above.

“In particular, the public healthcare sector remains beset with various issues including inadequate staffing levels, heavy patient loads, aging infrastructure and stock-outs, which in turn creates uncertainty amongst doctors as to whether a NHI scheme will succeed in South Africa.”
