Cabinet has called on members of the public to engage the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill, which is currently before Parliament.
“Once it is passed into law, the Bill will give effect to universal access to healthcare to all citizens in our country, irrespective of their socio-economic background. This right is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,” Minister in the Presidency, Jackson Mthembu said.
He was on Thursday briefing members of media on the outcomes of the Cabinet meeting that was held on Wednesday in Cape Town.
“Cabinet remains confident that the National Health Insurance will be implemented in a phased and responsible manner. An implementation plan will be developed and published once the bill is passed into law,” Mthembu said.
The bill was signed off by Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize and adopted by Cabinet in July.
Through the NHI, government seeks to fulfil its constitutional obligation to provide quality universal healthcare for all, as envisaged in Section 27 of the Constitution and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Under the NHI, South African citizens, permanent residents, refugees, inmates, designated foreign nationals and all children will receive primary healthcare.
Primary healthcare centres such as clinics or general practitioners will be the first point of access to healthcare. Access to healthcare services will be free at point of care.
The NHI aims to follow in the footsteps of countries such as Britain and Japan, which have also implemented their own equivalent.
Under the Bill, medical aid schemes will gradually be phased out until they, as the main source of primary healthcare, ultimately cease to exist.
Medical aids will thus only be able to provide what is called complimentary cover. Complimentary cover will provide services that are not listed under the NHI such as cosmetic surgeries.

Responsibilities
A well-loved Fast Food brand is looking for a Senior Fast Food Restaurant Manager for one of their stores in the Bloemfontein area
Requirements
SA Citizens only
South Africans must ask why now-retired Judge Willie Seriti, and/or those who appointed him, are not being asked to pay personal costs after the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria set aside the findings of the arms deal commission of inquiry, the EFF said on Wednesday.
“This is because it must be a double insult to expect South African taxpayers, who have already forked out about R150m to pay for the commission, to now also pay for legal costs,” the party said in a statement.
“This would amount to South African taxpayers sponsoring their own robbery.”
Handing down judgment on Wednesday, Judge President Dunstan Mlambo said that it was clear that the commission had failed to inquire fully into the matters that it had to investigate.
“The questions posed to the witnesses were hardly the questions of an evidence leader seeking to determine the truth,” Mlambo said.
No attempt was made to confront controversial businessman Fana Hlongwane’s witness statement, which, Mlambo said, left out key information concerning payments made to him.
Mlambo said the court was fortified in its view that the inquiry the commission was called upon to undertake had “never materialised”.

He said the key failure to test evidence of important witnesses, and a refusal to take account of documentary evidence which contains the most serious allegations that were important to the inquiry, meant the findings of the Seriti commission must be set aside.
The commission, set up in 2011 by former president Jacob Zuma and chaired by Seriti, found no evidence of corruption in the deal, in which the SA government entered into contracts with several European defence companies in 1999.
South Africa bought sophisticated military equipment to the tune of R30bn.
The commission did not hold anyone accountable, finding that there was no undue influence in the selection of bidders.
The EFF said the major irregularities identified in this instance were far worse and more costly than the ABSA and Estina Dairy court reviews involving the Public Protector.
“It cannot be that the Public Protector is directed to pay personal costs, yet those in the Seriti Commission, who ‘deliberately’ failed to perform their mandate, are absolved from doing so,” it said.
“We have therefore instructed our lawyers to look into whether it will be possible or advisable to approach the courts to protect the rights of the public, by demanding consistency on the part of our judiciary.”
Analysis: Arms deal judgment unlikely to reopen Mbeki-era prosecutions
The Thabo Mbeki Foundation said on Wednesday that the judgment spoke to the commission’s handling of evidence presented before it on the Strategic Defence Procurement Package (SDPP) and not the merits of the allegations of corruption made over the years.
“In this regard, the Foundation stands by the evidence submitted by our Patron, President Thabo Mbeki, to the Commission, whose essence is that the decisions of the Cabinet Inter-Ministerial Committee which processed the SDPP were free from corruption,” said spokesperson Siyabulela Gebe.
