### The Select Committee on Health has called for public comment on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill.

    - The objective of the Bill is to achieve universal access to quality health
      care services in the Republic in accordance with section 27 of the Constitution;
    - to establish a National Health Insurance Fund and to set out its powers, functions
      and governance structures;
    - to provide a framework for the strategic purchasing of health care services
      by the Fund on behalf of users;
    - to create mechanisms for the equitable, effective and efficient utilisation
      of the resources of the Fund to meet the health needs of the population;
    - to preclude or limit undesirable, unethical and unlawful practices in relation
      to the Fund and its users.

after it was passed by the parliament on Tuesday. The ANC voted in support of the
bill while the DA and the EFF voted against it. Director at Intellidex Peter Attard
says the NHI is unlikely to be implemented within a reasonable time
