Скачать или смотреть AFRIFORUM HALTED THE NHI: Power, Policy, and the Constitution

AfriForum’s constitutional challenge becomes the decisive force that halts the rollout of the National Health Insurance Act, compelling the state to pause implementation while the courts assess the Act’s legality. The case highlights concerns about centralised control, weakened provincial authority, restricted patient choice, and an unfunded financial model, all unfolding against widespread public mistrust in the health system and limited Treasury support. As the Constitutional Court hearings approach, AfriForum’s intervention stands as a pivotal moment in the national debate over how to pursue universal healthcare while protecting constitutional rights, fiscal stability, and access to quality care.
