JOHANNESBURG - The Health Funders Association says the passed NHI Bill cannot be signed into law in its current form because it will infringe on the rights of all South Africans.
The association also argues that the bill will destroy the country's health system.
It has petitioned President Cyril Ramaphosa to hold off on signing the Bill on constitutional and procedural grounds.
The NHI Bill seeks to realise universal health coverage for all.
This means that every South African will have the right to access comprehensive healthcare services free of charge at accredited health facilities, such as clinics, hospitals, and private health practitioners.
