Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi announced that the NationalHealth Department plans new clinics and 6 new academic hospitals to boost the NHI roll-out, reported TimesLive (16 April 2025)
“The plan will be implemented in collaboration with National Treasury to fast-track infrastructure delivery.
“We've got 10 academic hospitals and we are going to replace three… I can’t say we are replacing them as they’ve never been built. They have been temporary for many years,” said Motsoaledi.
“SA has 10 academic hospitals and the new initiative will bring that number to 16. Motsoaledi said more details would be revealed next month when he reads his Budget speech.”
