The Institute’s Johan Serfontein says the national Department of Health is not competent to run hospitals. Addressing the media in Auckland Park in Johannesburg on Thursday, Serfontein wants a proper estimate of the costing of the NHI. “The big concern is if all of these hospitals are moved out of the provincial space, as is currently proposed in the bill, the question is what happens to the staff at provincial health administration departments and that’s why it’s very strange that trade unions like Cosatu are very supportive of the NHI … because if NHI gets implemented like this, there’s going to be massive staff cuts at provincial health departments and those are all union members.
