Posted on Leave a comment

National Health Insurance (NHI), which the government is pushing as the solution to SA’s health crisis, could lead to the loss of up to 132,000 jobs, according to the country’s private hospital groups.

NHI, spearheaded by health minister Aaron Motsoaledi, is the government’s policy for introducing universal health coverage and aims to ensure everyone has access to healthcare that is free at the point of service.

The Hospital Association of SA (Hasa), which represents the private hospital sector, was among the industry groups that presented their views on the risks to the economy at last week’s Business Unity SA (Busa) meeting.

The gathering brought together business and government leaders, who have been trying to forge a closer relationship under the auspices of the Public Private Growth Initiative spearheaded by former politician Roelf Meyer and Toyota Europe and Africa CEO Johan van Zyl.

Hasa commissioned economics consultancy Econex to analyse th

Staats pasiënte moet ly omrede mediese staatsdepot in Bloemfontein nie medisyne en mediese toebehore betyds aan hospitale en klinieke kan lewer

Posted on Leave a comment

Vrystaat se pasiënte wat afhanklik is van staats medisyne en mediese toebehore gaan ’n ernstige probleem in die gesig staar nadat daar bevind is dat die mediese staatsdepot in Bloemfontein nie die nodige voorraad betyds aan hospitale en klinieke kan lewer nie.

So het Patricia Kopane, DA-LP en DA-premierskandidaat vir die Vrystaat, Dinsdag ten tyde van ’n oorsig-inspeksie gesê.

Kopane het gesê die mediese depot voer ’n stryd om medisyne betyds aan Vrystaatse hospitale en klinieke te lewer.

“Terwyl baie faktore ’n rol speel, is die opsigtelikste redes die verouderde stoorbestuursrekenaarstelsel wat verskeie kere ineengestort het, vervoerprobleme en onvoldoende personeel.

“Die stoorbestuursrekenaarstelsel is ontwerp sodat die depot kon reageer op verskeie versoeke vir medisyne van verskillende gesondheidsgeriewe van oor die provinsie heen.”

Kopane sê die provinsie se gesondheidstelsel is op die rand van ’n krisis met die depot wat ’n a
