South Africa’s National Health Insurance revisited: <I>“Quo vadis”? (“Whither goest thou?”)</I>
Abstract
By the time you receive this copy of the South African Family Practice Journal, South Africa’s National Health Insurance (NHI) pilot project would have completed 24 months of implementation. The first status report by Matsoso and Fryatt was published in May 2013.1 In my previous editorial on the pilot project, I provided a synopsis of the objectives, progress and challenges, and concluded with positive data on the satisfaction index of patients on the usage of the public health service.2
