Public hosps are a mess
Which should have been cleaned up before signing bill
Ayizutyiwa imali in the process ,we haven't forgotten the looting during Covid19 pandemic
there's is nothing quality about anything that involves a mass population ,it's quantity over quality
Quality must never come at the sacrifice of equality.
i see this working exactly how they place our kids in these schools, " go to the hospital in your area" meaning those that live in the so called Suburbia areas will still have access "private" healthcare and if you are in Soweto you will still be referred to Bara
True.
NHI plus open boder match made in hell.
yho i didnt even think about that. That NHI will service more foreign nationals than south africans because healthcare practitioners find it very hard to turn away sick and desperate people.
Finally we have been waiting for this for so long.
What's wrong with the public hospitals?
@@Ritesh-yy1zr Nothing but the same service the private hospitals use it must apply in public hospitals.
@@Kamo766 so your government must work on the public healthcare first before going to eat the private hospitals? Don't you think?
@Ritesh-yy1zr, I'm glad this whole conversation is exposing the once "anonymous" gatekeepers and opponents of equality.
My issue is that, already the health budget allocation to the public health sector is 848 billion rands over the MTEF (medium term expenditure framework), this money has been allocated and handled by the government, 27 billion of which is allocated to infrastructure, and sadly I don’t know what has happened to this money… then the NHI will further give the government access to more funds to allocate to a unified system, I’m afraid that the same corruption we have seen time and again will happen under the NHI
4:25 Thando's response to what he said did not align with the concern. It's all good & well to see the bright side, but there are preexisting issues already that needed to be tackled before this bill could have been signed.
The cost of public Healthcare is already on the tax payer and its in a dire state. That's why tax payers also pay for Medical aid.
Thus comes down to service delivery, right? If what I think this means for South Africans, then it will be a complete mess when our government starts dictating our health benefits and where we should go for any particular treatment. If our service delivery of state own entities is what it is today , then we might as well refuse to pay taxes! We will be paying higher taxes to fund this and with poorest service delivery in health!!how disgusting and shameful of this government!!!
Just say what you want to say, you don't want to share your privilege with the underprivileged.
@katlegodidit Don't think you have any idea about my history, and it's not about privilege. It is about transparency, integrity, moral courage, and trust. Do you know how this will be funded?
@oswaldbarnes5861, it will be funded the same way everything else is funded. Don't hear the same uproar when bills promoting urban development are passed.
Ppl really think Drs & specialists are going to rely on this govt to pay 70% of their bills. We need healthcare professionals to sign on. If they do not the NHi cannot exist. You would think the govt would have sat & listened to their concerns. Many govt departments & municipalities do not even pay Eskom.
Also no you won't be able to choose what public or private or Dr or clinic you go to. The NHI will tell you who & where you can go & for what. Imagine the Dr on your NHI list is full till Dec. You will just have to wait till Dec. Just see what is happening with the NHS in England.
Nothing new for public service users. The only complaints I see here are from the privileged trying to protect their privilege.
Damn Thando is really beautiful
Let's hope it does SOME good for SOME people.
Hope springs eternal.
This is definitely a PR stunt
One I don't mind.
Thando's camera is over exposed
The question will we get the services if not what options will we then have
Don't worry skat, the only change is that you'll now get to share the same healthcare facilities as Fezeka from Timlo informal settlement... Unless you're too posh for that of course...
I’m cancelling my medical aid since I’ll get taxed more to fund the NHI
so now suddenly public hospitals are going to be better resourced , the doctor to patient ratio is gonna be adequate, i dont think so. how is it going to be funded, SOEs are collapsing is health department goin to be any different
Spoken like someone who's never walked into a public health facility. Don't worry, you'll be okay.
@@katlegodidit sa public hospital are a final destination literally, we need a new government which is gonna priorities capacitating public health instead of passing bills just to attract votes, public hospials must equipped with modern technogy that alone will attract more skilled prsonnel, if u see nothing wrong with the timing and current form of this NHI then we have a bigger problem than i thought
Equality must happen, one way or the other.
@@katlegodidit indeed! yet we must not let our guard down, we need to do due diligence at all times, we must not take things at face value
How is the cost going to be reduced, recieving the same level of care is like saying no will be unemployed which under the current State is impossible, may be for you guys in the urban it will work, just come to the Transkei where there's roughly over 5 million people with dysfunctional district hospitals, which are falling apart with tired and demotivated staff, may be 4 max private hospitals whose bed capacity combined is less than a 1000 beds, may be it will work in Surburbs, I dont see it working even in Khayelitsha for example. It's realisation not in this life time
Namibia to follow plz 👏🏽
We already have a failed public health system that is poorly managed. To implement NHI, tax payers will have to be taxed heavily, meaning as Mzansi we can't afford it at this current juncture with this current state of the economy.
I've got a few doctors in my life who aren't happy about this, but let's just vote properly on the 29th South Africans and hopefully protect our country from illegal foreigners. Hopefully, this will be good for SA citizens.
Its always foreigners with South Africans. Wait till foreign doctors come in to close the gap that will be created by the brain drain due to this bill. Private hospital doctors are going to flee to Australia
These private hospitals belong to private people, not the government so is government going to pay them for the use?
Yes. They will pay the bill but also set the price they will pay.
The Medical community is rejected this bill and the Doctors are threatened to leave South Africa 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who are these doctors that can afford to leave the country??
Definitely not the ones protesting for employment 😂😂😂
So Dr.s won't claim medical Aid?? What
Only when NHI is in full affect. They will still be able to claim from medical aid for things not covered by NHI.
Because things are not going their way they wanna live South Africa.
They always have options
Let them go, more job opportunities for the unemployed.
Can’t even fix the current “NHI”
Didn't know we already had NHI before.
Lol the happiness in ur voices is shocking ask ur diaspora people in uk those that have had exposure to NHS they wil let u know esp the taxes to be paid…well the next thing is the queues…the love of free things for the black folk is just something else…well we will watch and learn from your mistakes
