ActionSA President Herman Mashaba and Team Fix South Africa Member for Health Dr Kgosi Letlape, and Team Fix South Africa member for Substance Abuse Dereleen James Today, visited the Life Esidimeni Hospital in Randfontein to address why the National Health Insurance (NHI) is South Africa’s new Life Esidimeni.
The Life Esidimeni Tragedy of 2016 saw 144 mental health patients die of starvation and neglect when the Gauteng Provincial Government moved some 1,500 patients from a private healthcare provider to cheaper care centres.
The NHI is an attempt by the failing ruling party to cut corners in terms of healthcare provision when they have failed to address the current failures within South Africa’s public healthcare system.
