Ramaphosa Set to Enact Health Insurance Legislation in South Africa

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to sign a national health bill to ensure health coverage for all citizens.

The bill, expected to cost billions and be rolled out gradually, aims to address racial and social disparities since apartheid’s end.

However, business groups oppose it, fearing disinvestment and economic damage. Experts doubt immediate changes, and the bill is expected to pass before the May 29 national election.
