About this case

Positioning the state as the single buyer of health care, as the NHI Act intends, is a disastrous model that must be averted.

Sakeliga will therefore litigate as long and intensive as necessary to prevent the state from taking control of private health care.

The Act is not rationally connected to its purpose, rendering it irrational and unconstitutional.

The Act also breaches Section 27 of the Constitution, because it is neither coherent nor reasonably implemented, and its implementation exceeds the state's available resources and will lead to a regression in healthcare access across the board.

Overall, the NHI Act poses a grave threat to the ability of medical practitioners to operate freely and the ability of members of the public to obtain quality health care according to own needs.
