Healthcare Update South Africa

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Patient Safety: Six people were arrested in four provinces for allegedly practising medicine illegally, including a Gauteng doctor suspended since 2012 who continued treating patients. Malaria: Rising cases and funding uncertainty are putting Southern Africa’s 2030 elimination targets at risk. South Africa is among the few countries funding almost all of its malaria programme. Ebola Alert: An armed raid in eastern DRC forced one Ebola patient and five people with symptoms to flee a hospital, disrupting care in a region heavily affected by outbreaks. Medicine Access: Reports of psychiatric drug shortages at public clinics warn of relapse risks, while patients are increasingly forced to buy medicines themselves. Extreme Heat: South Africans are being urged to take precautions against heatstroke as El Niño raises concern about hotter, drier conditions.
