Government to outline interventions on private healthcare reforms

# Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi and Trade, Industry and Competition minister Parks Tau will provide an update on the progress made in implementing Health Market Inquiry recommendations. The inquiry, led by former Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo, highlighted competition barriers in private healthcare, including unregulated pricing and exclusive contracts. Health Department spokesperson Foster Mohale says the ministers will outline government interventions to improve competition and transparency in the sector as well as address longstanding concerns to ensure fairer access to healthcare services.
