Busa calls out govt for failing to hold ‘structured’ NHI discussions

Industry body Business Unity South Africa (Busa) on Thursday expressed disappointment that despite commitments by the government to engage on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act, structured discussions have not yet taken place, affirming its readiness to participate in meaningful dialogue with government. Busa CEO Cas Coovadia said the organisation was aiming for formal, constructive engagement with the President, Minister of Health and National Treasury, that was focused on collaboration, for an equitable and sustainable healthcare system.
