South African government using COVID-19 as a jump pad for the National Health Insurance, says the Minister of Health

The Minister of Health, Joe Phaahla said that the Ministry has set aside funds for national health insurance infrastructure projects in the coming year. Although spending on the National Health Insurance (NHI) decreased over the last two years as the government pivoted its healthcare budget to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, Phaalha  ensured the country that the NHI was not forgotten and that much of the expenditures on COVID-19 spend were in aid of the NHI, rather than replacing it.
