The National Health Insurance, commonly known as the NHI, aims to
ensure that all South Africans have access to appropriate,
efficient and quality health services. The right to health, as an
economic, social and cultural right to a universal minimum standard
of health to which all individuals are entitled, requires
government action and that the state provides welfare to the
individual. Section 27 of the Bill of Rights affirms the right of
everyone to have access to health care services. An obligation is
placed on the state to achieve the progressive realisation of this
right. While some legislative measures have been instituted, the
National Health Insurance (NHI), however, is the direct and most
germane response to that directive and towards realising universal
health coverage. The NHI underpins the establishment of a unified
health system in the country based on the principles of social
solidarity, progressive universalism, equity and health as a public
good and a social investment, thereby underscoring the values of
justice, fairness and equity. Based on its principle of equity, the
NHI will need to ensure a fair and just health care system for all
and access to health services within reasonable periods. This book
is timely as it will serve to inform stakeholders and communities
of the key elements of the NHI, its structure, processes and plans
for implementation
