An in-depth look at the future of public and private healthcare in South Africa following the publishing of the final Health Market Inquiry report.

How will the recommendations change the private sector and link to the National Health Insurance (NHI) bill under consideration by the South African Parliament?

In this forum we address:

• The key findings and recommendations of the HMI report;
  
• The potential business models for the future of healthcare funding;
  
• How the NHI bill affects the various healthcare players, both private and public;
  
• How the proposed changes affect patient access to healthcare services.
