Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says the rollout of the National Health Insurance (NHI) is going ahead despite disagreements within the Government of National Unity (NHI).<\/p>\n

Motsoaledi said there’s an obsession with putting a price tag on the NHI’s implementation.<\/p>\n

Answering questions in the National Assembly on Wednesday, Motsoaledi said the cost will be determined once the universal medical insurance is ready to be introduced.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nA fired-up Motsoaledi said healthcare systems are being prepared over two phases for the introduction of the NHI.<\/p>\n

This includes infrastructure, staff and quality improvements.<\/p>\n

The first of governance regulations will be published for public comment next month.<\/p>\n

“The disagreements that may arise between members of the GNU about the specified act, will be discussed in the relevant government forum. The act is law as it is now, and is being implemented,” said Motsoaledi.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nWhile the Economic Freedom Fighters have expressed concerns the NHI will prop up private health care, the minister pointed out that to the contrary, the industry believes it will be their death knell.<\/p>\n

“NHI is not about providing private health care. NHI is to enable South Africans to access all health care they need without suffering financial hardships,” he said.<\/p>\n

Motsoaledi has dismissed the R1.3 trillion price tag for the NHI, saying the estimate has been self-created.<\/p>\n
