NHI's implementation in an economy growing at less than 1% per annum poses significant challenges

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa gestures as he signs into law a National Health Bill that aims to provide universal coverage to South Africans, at the Union Building in Pretoria, South Africa, May 15, 2024.

The Bill also proposes the establishment of a District Health Management Office in each district to manage and coordinate non-personal and personal health care services at the district level. Joint CEO of Global Business Solutions John Botha asserts, “Given the past instances of corruption and mismanagement of funds in South Africa, there are valid concerns about the potential for corruption within the NHI system. This could lead to a misuse of funds, further straining the already limited resources available for healthcare. Hence, robust measures must be instituted to forestall corruption and uphold transparency and accountability within the management of the NHI Fund.
