NHI case to kick off at ConCourt

JOHANNESBURG - The Constitutional Court will on Tuesday hear an application by the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF). 

It's challenging the process that led to the adoption of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act in 2023.

The NHI aims to guarantee all South Africans access to universal, quality healthcare.

But the BHF argues that Parliament failed to meet its constitutional duty to ensure meaningful public participation before passing the legislation.

It's asking the court to declare the Act invalid and to set it aside.
