NHI vs. Medical Schemes

South Africa’s COVID-19 response shows how the public and private healthcare sectors can co-operate successfully. While we already have a state-owned healthcare system, it lacks the leadership found in the private sector.

This is a critical issue for proponents of the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme, particularly when the cost of private medical aid excludes the vast majority of South Africans from accessing healthcare.
