Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi speaks at a government function.
Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi says all citizens deserve quality healthcare, regardless of their socio-economic status.
Motsoaledi was speaking at the G20 health minister meeting in Polokwane, Limpopo.
He says that they will collaborate with countries such as Norway, which already has universal healthcare, to ensure that the National Health Insurance (NHI) benefits all the citizens.
“We need proper regulatory guidelines, learning from global examples, to ensure that public financing remains central. Health cannot just be a question of who has more money. It is a fundamental human right, we must defend it from forces that prioritise financial gain and profit over human dignity and survival.”
