### NHI another step closer to reality

**[_BusinessTECH_](https://businesstech.co.za/news/government/815976/nhi-another-step-closer-to-reality/)**
The highly contested NHI was signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa last year
and seeks to create a universal healthcare fund, with the state acting as the primary
healthcare buyer for South Africans.

However, the Act has received major criticism, with questions raised about the limited
roles of medical aid schemes in the country and the poor performance of other government-
owned entities.

The Director General of the Department of Health will create a nomination committee.
The Minister will send the nomination committee’s recommendations to the cabinet
for approval.

Once the board is established, it must recruit a suitable candidate for the NHI’s
CEO position. The CEO will also need the approval of the minister and cabinet.

The CEO will be appointed for a term not exceeding five years, renewable only once
by the board in consultation with the Minister.
