CRITICAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

National Health Insurance in South Africa

A brief history and critical analysis

*Ms Lynn Bust, Dr James van Duuren, Dr Louis Reynolds, Prof. Leslie London,
Ms Anneleen De Keukelaere*

In 2022, the South African health system is in severe crisis. PHM SA is
re-igniting its Critical Health Perspectives (CHP) publications with a
fresh face. Our first focus will be on the massive health system reform
currently pending in South Africa – National Health Insurance (NHI). We
will critically analyse and unpack the South African NHI in four sequential
CHP publications. The first issue is separated into two sections: the first
will give a brief history and background context to National Health
Insurance in South Africa. The second section will analyse the current NHI
Bill of 2019, briefly breaking down its most relevant components. This will
be a teaser for CHPs to come which will go into further detail, looking at
the topics of financing and the private sector; governance and
accountability; and community participation in the NHI policy process.

*Critical Health Perspectives (CHP)*, published by the People’s Health
Movement-South Africa (PHM-SA), are short editions critically analysing the
health system of South Africa. They aim to take a deeper dive into some of
the health problems we currently face, scrutinising their root causes and
discussing potential solutions to these complex issues. Originally started
in 2005, CHPs are written by activists, academics, and experts in their
field to spark debate on the most pressing issues in health today. The
views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the view of all those who
have identified with PHM-SA.
