Last chance to protest against NHI Bill
20 September 2023
Gauteng residents have a last chance to protest the NHI Bill at the final public hearing of the Gauteng Legislature’s Health Committee which is scheduled for tomorrow.
The implementation of the proposed NHI will be disastrous for Gauteng as it will harm the economy and won’t fix public hospitals which are notoriously badly run.
Many medical professionals will emigrate rather than work for a single government-run system that is likely to be corrupt and inefficient.
The biggest question is how it will be funded. While there is no cost assessment, it is estimated it would cost about R300 billion.
