Quotes
- “For the first time in the history of South Africa, pre and post-apartheid, the country has a clear roadmap under the National Development Plan (NDP), and it has been accepted by all political parties.”
Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister of Health
- “If we really look for providing access to quality health care, to the point of universal reach for all South Africans, we have to upgrade and enlarge our current range of services.”
Qedani Mahlangu, MEC for Health, Gauteng Province

Dr. Karsten Wellner, Ascendis Health
- “Because of the duality of our healthcare system, there is still only limited cooperation between public and private sectors.”
Dumisani Bomela, HASA

Nkaki Matlala, PHEF
