PROPOSAL: HOPE CONSENSUS-DRIVEN REFORM WILL BRING DESIRED SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION
Eric Mthobeli Naki
Better plan for NHI mulled

A "consensus-driven" reform that encompasses a mixed public and private approach to bring equitable, efficient and sustainable solutions for South Africa's health care system has been proposed.

The proposal is contained in a report released by the Universal Healthcare Access Coalition (UHAC), which represents most of the health care professional associations.

So far, 22 associations are signatories to the report.

These include the South African Medical Association, Progressive Health Forum, South African Private Practitioners Forum, Radiological Society of South Africa and the South African Society of Anaesthesiologists.
