The Northern Cape Provincial Legislature will on 19 October 2023 be hosting a public hearing to take place
at the Thebelihle community hall in Paballelo set for 11 o’clock in the
morning. This public hearing is on the
National Health Insurance Bill, which objective is to provide universal access
to quality health care for all South Africans as enshrined in the constitution.
The NHI Bill seeks to achieve this by ensuring that no one is deprived of the above-mentioned
rights because of their socio- economic status. Through the NHI Bill one public
health fund is created with adequate resources to plan for and effectively meet
the needs of the entire population. Written submissions on the NHI Bill should
be submitted to the Committee Co-Ordinator on or before 18 October 2023.
