The National Health Insurance (NHI)
The National Health Insurance (NHI) bill has passed another hurdle on it's way to becoming law.
After being passed by the National Assembly, it was passed by the National Council of Provinces earlier this week.
The Health Minister says it will be implemented in stages once it gets the presidential not.
Most stakeholders laud the idea behind National Health Insurance in South Africa which is to provide access to quality healthcare services for all, not just those who can afford to pay for private doctors or cover.
But various bodies like the South African Medical Association have said that the bill is unaffordable and unfeasible in it's current form.
To discuss we're joined by Professor Alex van den Heever from the Wits Social Security Systems Administration and Management studies.
