'We'll call it Ramaphosa-care': Health minister Motsoaledi wants the president to make NHI happen

Since then, a war-room had been established in the presidency to finalise the bill for parliament to approve.

Motsoaledi conceded that public healthcare in the country was severely constrained and said dealing with the problem would have to extend beyond the health department. Motsoaledi said the war-room, headed by Ramaphosa's health and social issues adviser, Professor Olive Shisana, was an effort to make NHI a reality in the sixth administration.

Motsoaledi said part of NHI will see changing of 12 healthcare laws- including the Health Care Act of 2003.

He's right We can include SouthAfrica'a too big for the ANC to run successfully. They've had 25years and failed miserably

As it is there is hardly care or medicine in clinics and state hospitals. Ramaphosa care will finally sink the name into oblivion. Why not rectify the wrongs with state health care as it stands today. Get rid of the dead wood and keep/recruit people who care?

This guy is lazy.

So this guy is saying I can’t do my job help please. Only thing he earns over 200k a month and has a stuff compliment the size of a small country so what’s his problem

. This NHI bill is such a contentious issue due to a lack of politicalwill to get the wheels rolling in the implementation of this universalHealthCoverage policy for the greater benefit of the masses relying on publicHealthcare in South Africa. HealthIkhtisadi

First he must deal with poor service in our clinics

I'm still stuck on the fact that there have no arrests for the LifeEsidimeni murders

They will just steal all the money that is meant to help the S.A. People especially the poor.

The guy failed to implement this thing for 10 years now, hospitals are in worse state than he found them. I use to be very fond of him, but he disappointed me

There we go, elections never even come he wants more money to waste! 🙄 Lend us your vote! Vote ForGoodZA PatriciaDeLille!

What, he wants help from Bosasa?😂😂😂
