Emergency Care Bottleneck: Johannesburg’s EMS says 41 brand-new ambulances bought in 2019 have sat idle for six years at Florida Park because they can’t be deployed without approval, with Gauteng Health working on provincialising them to meet National Health Act requirements. Hospital Expansion Funding: South Africa secured two New Development Bank loans totalling about R7.4bn for a new 488-bed tertiary hospital in Polokwane and the Magalies bulk water supply scheme, aimed at easing pressure on health and water services. Health System Integrity: The arrests follow concerns that illegal diversion of state medicines undermines patient access and public healthcare resources.
