About this episode
The episode discusses the legal challenges to South Africa's National Health Insurance at the Constitutional Court.
NHI Challenge at ConCourt Crossing: A high-stakes legal showdown over South Africa’s healthcare future is now underway. The National Health Insurance is back in the spotlight as the Constitutional Court hears two major challenges from the 5th to the 7th of May. The Board of Healthcare Funders and the Western Cape government are contesting the process, arguing that the NHI was pushed through without adequate public consultation. The outcome could be pivotal — if the government loses, it may significantly delay or reshape the rollout of NHI. GUEST: Nosipho Radebe: SABC Economics Reporter
