Govt Outlines NHI Bill Schedule with Performance Agreement

SOUTH AFRICA

Govt outlines NHI performance agreement with HealthMin with the following conditions/schedule:

  • NHI Fund must be established as a public entity and operational by 2021/2022;
  • Fund should begin purchasing services by 2022/2023;
  • Through a progressive process, 90% of South Africans should be covered by 2030
  • Ramaphosa says the NHI will be implemented incrementally and will not be reckless - BusinessTech
  • While the performance agreement is a strong show of leadership/reform implementation from Ramaphosa
  • the NHI bill is utterly unaffordable, given SA's current fiscal condition at an estimated cost of ~R256-300bn/yr
