AGP Executive Report
Last update: 29 minutes agoHumanitarian Health Warning: Doctors warn South Africa is heading for a humanitarian crisis as migrants become too afraid to seek healthcare amid xenophobic violence and clinic access blockades linked to the “30 June” anti-migrant deadline. Public Health Call to Action: Healthcare Workers Against Xenophobia (HWAX) and other public health professionals are urging government to protect displaced migrants and asylum seekers with shelter, food, sanitation and immediate medical care. On-the-Ground Protests: Nationwide marches passed with isolated looting and intimidation, with heavy police deployments reported in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and other cities; foreign nationals and businesses shut down as fear spread. Medical Aid Pressure: The Council for Medical Schemes rejected GEMS’ bid to lower 2026 contribution increases to 7.5%, meaning public workers face a 9.5% medical aid hike from July—adding strain as costs rise. Security at Healthcare Frontlines: Health workers are calling for extra security at facilities ahead of further protest activity, warning violence could further disrupt care.
