# The South African Medical and Dental Practitioners has welcomed the final report by the Section 59 investigation panel, confirming systemic racial discrimination against black healthcare providers. The report, received by Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi, found that black practitioners faced more audits, payment delays, and punitive actions. The organisation’s chairperson, Phashe Magagane, called it a watershed moment and demanded urgent reforms. The group urges full implementation of the report’s recommendations and action to ensure fairness and equity in South Africa’s healthcare system.
