The private healthcare sector in South Africa has, for many years, been scrutinised due to high operating costs, as well as the glaring levels of disparity between the public and private sectors. The provision of more healthcare for more South Africans, for less, against the backdrop of the National Health Insurance , should be supported.
Statistics show that the number of healthcare workers employed in South Africa within the private sector far outnumber those in the public sector. This matrix is not sustainable and can be attributed to the breakdown in the delivery of quality healthcare within the public sector to those who need it most. As a private industry, we have built up skills that can contribute towards a healthier healthcare system.
Making use of the experience of both the public and private sectors to develop a system that runs as seamlessly as possible will be key in ensuring the NHI is a success and keeps true to its promise of addressing the substantial gaps in the delivery of quality healthcare to all South Africans. A strong private sector does not undermine the public sector, just as a strong public sector does not undermine the private sector.
To further ensure its success, considerable opportunity exists for the medical scheme industry and funders to embrace and meaningfully collaborate. There is a clear need for us to work together with a common goal of improving our healthcare system by ensuring that healthcare standards across both public and private are improved in a more affordable manner.
