The lack of access to adequate healthcare for a larger portion of South Africans is a major challenge that needs government and private institutions to work together to address. The proposed Health Sector Charter is therefore a step in the right direction. Click here for a copy of the draft.
Hasa encourages its members to engage in constructive public-private partnerships to ease access to a high standard of healthcare. Presently, it seems like, only the employed access private healthcare while the overburdened public sector provides medical care to a long queue of patients who can’t afford medical aid premiums.
