Momentum Metropolitan Health chief medical officer Damian McHugh has urged South Africa medical aid users not to panic and to continue with their current healthcare arrangements despite President Cyril Ramaphosa’s intent to sign the National Health Insurance Bill into law on Wednesday .
Union Solidarity, business group BUSA, healthcare professional representatives SAHPC and the Democratic Alliance have all given notice of legal challenges to immediately follow the signing of the laws on Wednesday.“Our message to our members and the wider South African community is to continue with your current healthcare arrangements,” McHugh said.
In addition to the waiting legal challenges, McHugh said that the South African economy does not have the required funds to support the implementation of the NHI, which is a fundamental aspect of the rollout.
