The continued looting of public funds in healthcare despite the pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic does not bode well for future support of National Health Insurance (NHI)

The continued looting of public funds in healthcare despite the pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic does not bode well for future support of National Health Insurance . The hot-button Bill has raised debate again, following recent public statements for and against it in light of the pandemic.

According to Corruption Watch chief executive David Lewis, although the idea of a centralised health system isn’t necessarily a recipe for corruption, it can become a fertile ground if antigraft solutions are not incorporated into NHI policy. The Free Market Foundation has lobbied fiercely against the NHI because the state would have absolute power over health resources, including medical scheme assets.

“There are problems in the health sector, there is no denying it, but you’ve seen when people are in a pandemic, they still get together and try to help each other… The problem is when you try and centralise and put in too much state bureaucracy.”Lewis was less pessimistic about the prospects of the NHI in light of the levels of corruption seen during the pandemic.
