Discussion | Medical practitioners can now choose where they work

DURBAN, KZN - The South African Medical Association has welcomed a ruling handed down by the Gauteng High Court that certain provisions of the National Health Act are unconstitutional, specifically, the requirement that doctors register for a ‘certificate of need.’

The certificate gives government more control over where healthcare professionals can practice.

Chairperson of SAMA, Dr Mvuyisi Mzukwa, spoke to eNCA.
