SAIRR Warns Against National Health Insurance
The South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) has warned that a national health insurance (NHI) scheme would threaten the excellence of the private healthcare sector.
In a press statement, SAIRR deputy chief executive, Frans Cronje, says it will be problematic to introduce the scheme at a time when evidence suggests that the public health care sector is in disarray.
Cronje argues that fixing the management and other ills confronting public hospitals and clinics could do as much, if not more, to improve the healthcare services available to poor people than any NHI scheme.
