SA’s health emergency | UN warns SA to stop short-changing child health

CAPE TOWN - The UN is warning South Africa to stop short-changing child health.

Its Committee on the Rights of the Child sent the missive after meeting a South African delegation.

It included the Children's Institute, the SA Paediatrics Association and the Child Health Priorities Association.

They raised concerns that cuts to public health funding announced in the budget speech will erode child health.

Lori Lake from the Children’s Institute has more on this.
