Who is footing the bill for Cuban doctor programme?
29 April 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) calls on the Department of Health to clarify the true cost of the Cuban doctors’ deployment which is said to be nearly R440 million as well as who will be footing the bill?
Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, attempted to explain the rationale for obtaining foreign aid during a press conference last night however many questions remain unanswered.
Chief among these is where this R440 million will be coming from and whether this is a justifiable use of public resources.
I have submitted parliamentary questions to obtain this information urgently.
