The SA healthcare sector is predicted to perform well in 2025 despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act. – Business Day (9 Jan 2025).
“Experts believe that delays in the full implementation of the NHI will ensure the continued importance of private hospitals in the SA healthcare landscape.”
According to Nick Balkin, chief investment officer at Foord Asset Management, private hospitals will remain crucial in providing healthcare services to those with private medical insurance and through collaborations with the government.
“Netcare and Life Healthcare have committed to collaborating with the government on healthcare reform. They emphasise the need for practical and sustainable solutions that address healthcare inequalities without destabilising the existing system.”
