Rais Cyril Ramaphosa, Mei 15, 2024 anatarajiwa kusaini kuwa Sheria Muswada wa Bima ya Afya kwa Wote unaolenga kutoa huduma bora za Afya kwa wote huku wanufaika wakubwa wakiwa ni Mamilioni ya Raia maskini
Muswada huo uliopitishwa na Wabunge Mwaka 2023 unalenga kuwapa Waafrika Kusini "wa rangi zote, matajiri au maskini, na wakazi wa kudumu Kisheria" huduma bora za afya
Afrika Kusini bado inachukuliwa kuwa mojawapo ya jamii zisizo na usawa zaidi duniani, ikiwa na pengo kubwa la utajiri huku asilimia 84 ya Raia wakitegemea huduma za afya za Umma ambazo mara nyingi ni duni

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to sign into law a contentious national health bill that aims to provide universal coverage to millions of poor citizens.
The National Health Insurance (NHI) bill seeks to give South Africans "of all races, rich or poor, and legal long-term residents" access to quality healthcare. It was passed by lawmakers last year and is set to be implemented in stages at a cost of billions of dollars.
Opposition parties and civil society groups have called for the bill to be referred back to parliament, arguing that it is flawed in its current form. Despite this, the bill will be signed into law on Wednesday at the Union Buildings, the presidential office, in the capital, Pretoria, according to the presidency.
The signing comes just days before the 29 May national election that could test the ruling African National Congress' 30-year rule.
South Africa remains one of the most unequal societies in the world, with a huge wealth gap and 84% of South Africans relying on often poor-quality public healthcare.
