Universal coverage possible – with private sector support
Abstract
The private healthcare sector could, ‘within a comparatively short time span’, hugely relieve its over-burdened public counterpart by nearly doubling its current medical scheme coverage of the population from 17% to 30%. This private subsidy would increase the government’s public sector per capita health spend by up to 19%.
