Board of Healthcare Funders welcomes court ruling on review of NHI Act

# The Board of Healthcare Funders says a ruling by the High Court in Pretoria compelling president Cyril Ramaphosa to hand over records on his decision to sign the National Health Insurance Act is a victory for the rule of law. The court ruled that Ramaphosa’s decision can be reviewed and gave him ten days to provide the records. The organisation believes the president ignored widespread concerns from civil society and the healthcare sector, arguing the NHI is vague, unaffordable, and unconstitutional.
