With the imminent advent of a national health insurance scheme in South Africa, the healthcare sector, both public and private, is set to change fundamentally. However, whilst we continue to monitor developments concerning the current National Health Insurance Bill, there are other developments in the sector that deserve attention. We intend to provide you with a range of views on the legal developments in the healthcare sector in South Africa and the tools to make the decisions to keep your business thriving and relevant in light of those developments.
