South Africa's approach to equal healthcare

Briefly News reported that a South African medical student slammed the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill on TikTok. She argued that nationalising healthcare would worsen an already struggling system and wouldn't be well-funded.

Many netizens responded with mixed views, some agreeing and others calling her argument selfish. According to the SA government, the objective of the NHI Bill is to provide free universal access to quality health care for all South Africans as enshrined in the Constitution, whether in public or private health facilities.
