Business Leadership South Africa CEO Busi Mavuso has warned of the deteriorating health sector without the prospect of recovery, owing in large part to the passage last week of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill into law, barring the assent of President Cyril Ramaphosa. In her weekly newsletter published on December 11, Mavuso called this development a "shocking negative" for the health sector and noted its potentially dire consequences for the South African economy.
