Motsoaledi to engage various stakeholders in KZN on NHI

Motsoaledi to engage various stakeholders in KZN on NHI

The Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, will this evening engage stakeholders in KwaZulu-Natal on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act and its benefits.

According to the Department of Health, the visit is part of ongoing roadshows on this health reform to understand concerns and recommendations from various sectors of society on how the NHI can be effectively implemented to meet the healthcare needs of the entire population.

“The NHI reforms’ primary objective is to unify the current fragmented health system to ensure Section 27 of the Constitution is realised.

“This piece of legislation is not just a policy, but a commitment of a better, healthier future for every South African,” the department said.

The countrywide stakeholder engagement programme also targets communities, ordinary people, and healthcare providers who will benefit the most from the phased implementation of NHI.

Motsoaledi will be joined by KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane and other leaders at the University of KwaZulu-Natal School of Health Sciences at 6pm. 

In May this year, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the then NHI Bill into law. During the signing ceremony, he said the signing was a “milestone in South Africa’s ongoing quest for a more just society”. – SAnews.gov.za

  1. A new teacher enters a classroom full of students.

    The teacher stands at the front of the room and greets the students, \”Good morning, class.\”

    None of the students say anything. One boy at the back of the classroom stands up, \”Good morning, teacher.\”

    Puzzled, the teacher carries on. The following morning, the same thing happens. Day after day goes by, and it\’s the same routine.

    One morning after greeting the class and the same student standing and greeting, the teacher has had enough, \”Why is it, that every time I walk in and greet the entire room, only you stand up and greet me?\”

    In the most broken English, the boy replies, \”Because I are the only one here, what\’s name are Klass\”
