The national government has blamed an influx of medical graduates for the delay in placement of intern and community service doctors.

Each year, junior doctors are left in limbo waiting for placement due to the shortage of funded posts at government health facilities.

According to Tlali, the lack of funded posts has led to continuous late placement of applicants and many unplaced doctors. “The department acknowledges that, since 2018, there has been an influx of South African citizens and permanent residents qualifying from local universities, the Nelson Mandela Fidel Castro Cuban programme and international self-funded students who are required to perform medical internship as a statutory obligation prior to them registering as medical doctors in South Africa,” said Mohale.

The department of health has formed a stakeholder meeting, which meets quarterly, where information is shared to update both higher education institutions and professional associations representing applicants.Nhlapho slammed government for its “poor management of funds by the state as well as poor planning”, which he believes to be the root cause of this problem.

“By not capitalising on sufficient human capital, government already compromises the very right protected by our Constitution.”Sama has, for years, been in communication with government about the perennial challenge of unplaced junior doctors, with no resolution in sight.
