Unpacking Oxfam’s report on SA’s healthcare system with Dr Basani Baloyi

An Oxfam report says the South African healthcare system hangs on the edge of a precipice. It says a combination of profit-seeking private healthcare entities and underinvestment from government has driven unfair practices in the South African healthcare sector. The study cites poor treatment of healthcare workers, which it says has compromised the quality of healthcare, resulting in a healthcare system being ill-prepared for shocks such as COVID-19. Dr Basani Baloyi, Inequality Programme Manager at Oxfam SA, unpacks the report.
