    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the public and private healthcare sector in South Africa, including hospitals and other medical facilities, medical practitioners, emergency services and pathology services. It includes comprehensive information on the state of the sector, statistics, the performance of notable players, corporate actions and other major developments. There are profiles of 47 companies including hospital groups such as Netcare, Mediclinic, Life Healthcare, Lenmed and RH Bophelo, pathology practices such as Ampath, ambulance services such as ER24 and optometry groups including Torga Optical and Neovision.

    The Healthcare Sector in South Africa

    Healthcare expenditure in South Africa, which is over R500bn a year, is roughly evenly split between the public and private healthcare sectors, despite the former providing care for 85% of South Africans. The healthcare sector was put to the test through the COVID-19 pandemic. Public healthcare, already under strain from lack of resources and sub-quality care, struggled to cope with service provision during the pandemic and the distraction it caused from attending to urgent communicable and non-communicable disease epidemics.

    Funding

    Healthcare funding concerns are increasing and public healthcare budget cuts are expected due to pressure on government finances, while private healthcare costs continue to rise above inflation, causing a reduction in the already small pool of medically-insured people. Government expects National Health Insurance to fund over 90% of all healthcare in the public and private sectors. The private sector has raised concerns about its affordability, the state’s ability to implement it and the impact it will have on the private healthcare sector.

    Private Sector Recovery

    The pandemic significantly reduced the revenue of private sector hospitals, which also had to incur additional pandemic-related costs. However, they recorded a strong recovery in 2021 and 2022, refinanced or reduced debt and improved cash flow, and improved revenue as trading conditions normalised.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the healthcare sector in South Africa and examines the capacity and capabilities of the healthcare system and the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the sector. It includes information on the state and size of the sector, developments and corporate actions of notable players, and influencing factors including the coronavirus pandemic and regulation. There are profiles of 26 entities including the Department of Health and the South African National Blood Service, major private hospital groups Life Healthcare, Mediclinic and Netcare and laboratory services such as Ampath.

    The Healthcare Sector in South Africa

    Expenditure on South Africa’s public and private healthcare in the formal sector totalled more than R400bn in 2019, while traditional healers that largely operate in the informal sector generated an estimated R3.5bn. The coronavirus pandemic has focused attention on the state of the healthcare system and its capacity to respond effectively to the health crisis. While private healthcare delivery is generally of a high standard, most public sector healthcare facilities are overextended, understaffed and poorly resourced.

    Prohibitive Costs

    Due to the high cost of private healthcare, particularly the cost of hospitalisation, specialist fees and radiology, more than 83% of the population is reliant on overburdened public health services. The prohibitive cost of private healthcare was a focal area of an inquiry by the Competition Commission, whose findings and recommendations were published in September 2019. To redress inequities in the health sector, government plans to overhaul the system and phase in National Health Insurance.

    Burden of Disease

    South Africa has high maternal, infant and child mortality rates, a high incidence of infectious diseases, especially HIV/Aids and TB, a rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, cancer and hypertension and an extremely high number of trauma cases, largely related to the high levels of violent crime and road accidents. There has been considerable progress in the management of infectious diseases such as HIV and Aids. South Africa’s ARV treatment programme is the largest of its kind in the world.

    Report Coverage

    This report covers the public and private sector healthcare sector, including the size and state of the sector and factors influencing its success in areas such as controlling disease, improving mortality rates and training and retaining skilled professionals. The report includes comprehensive profiles of 26 entities including national departments, blood services, hospital groups, emergency services and pathology laboratories. These major hospital groups such as Mediclinic, Life Healthcare and Netcare, which last year exited the UK. Emergency services such as ER24 and Gardmed are profiled, as are pathology labs such as Lancet and Ampath.

    The Healthcare Sector

    South Africa’s two-tiered healthcare sector is supported by more than 252,650 registered practitioners providing essential services through 7,90 public healthcare facilities and 524 private healthcare facilities. Expenditure on human health activities and services exceeded R400bn in the 2017/18 financial year, with private healthcare accounting for approximately R213bn of total spend. With an allocation of 12.3% of the total budget, health expenditure represents the third largest item of consolidated state expenditure, but the public healthcare system continues to decline.

    Developments

    The healthcare sector is poised for significant change with the proposed introduction of National Health Insurance which seeks to provide all South Africans with access to quality healthcare. The prohibitive cost of private sector continues to come under the scrutiny of the Competition Commission’s on-going health market inquiry. Other concerns relating to private healthcare include an apparent lack of accountability; over-servicing; the maldistribution of facilities and service providers; and the payment of incentives.

    Report Coverage

    The detailed report on South Africa’s healthcare sector describes current conditions, developments and investments, as well as other factors that influence the success of the sector. The report profiles 25 companies that operate in the sector ranging from Busamed, a black-owned and operated national specialist private hospital network, to pathology practice, A C Mauff and Partners t/a Lancet Laboratories. Also profiled are two blood banks, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) and the Western Province Blood Transfusion Services.

    The Healthcare sector

    South Africa’s healthcare sector, supported by 249,827 registered practitioners, performs a critical role in society providing essential services to the country’s population of more than 56.5 million people. With total expenditure rising to almost R378bn during the 2016/17 financial year, the sector accounts for approximately 8.3% of national GDP. Of this total amount, approximately R182.71bn is expected to be spent in public sector health facilities which serve more than 80% of the population while an estimated R189.08bn will be spent in the private sector.

    National Health Insurance

    The government aims to introduce National Health Insurance (NHI) in an effort to redress the inequalities in the country’s health sector. The Cabinet’s recent approval of the reissued NHI White Paper means that once implemented, all South African residents should be able to access quality healthcare services. However, most of the country’s public health facilities are under-resourced and over-extended and the recent collapse of public oncology services in Durban and the tragic consequences of Gauteng’s mental health crisis have further eroded confidence in a public health sector crippled by medical negligence claims. The funding of the new system remains a contentious subject and the Minister of Health announced possible adjustments to the tax credit on medical scheme contributions, which currently amount to around R20bn per annum. Other funding options include payroll tax, an increase in VAT and a personal income tax surcharge. The future role of private healthcare providers and medical schemes is also uncertain at present.

    Report coverage

    The detailed report on the country’s healthcare industry describes current conditions, the latest developments in the public and private sectors and discusses factors influencing the success of this vital sector. The report profiles 25 role players, including Blood Banks, Pathology Practices and Ambulance Services. Also profiled are Netcare Limited, Life Healthcare and Mediclinic Southern Africa, which together account for 75% of the domestic private healthcare market.

    Human Health Activities

    This report focuses on the South African healthcare sector which falls under the jurisdiction of the National Department of Health and comprises the public sector, private for-profit healthcare providers and private not-for-profit healthcare providers. Stakeholders estimate that more than 80% of the country’s population relies on public health facilities, which, for the most part, are under-resourced and over-extended. This highly polarised sector, which is currently the subject of a Competition Commission inquiry, comprises 240,024 registered healthcare workers serving a population of around 55 million people. Total health expenditure for the financial year 2015/2016 increased to R357.03bn, approximately 8.8% of GDP.

    A sector under pressure

    The healthcare sector is confronted by numerous challenges, including what is termed the Quadruple Burden of Disease: infectious diseases, notably HIV and Tuberculosis; maternal and child mortality; non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer and hypertension; and violence, injuries and trauma. Although the country’s HIV treatment programme has improved and from September 2016 all HIV-positive South Africans will have access to antiretroviral drugs regardless of their CD4 count, South Africa still has the highest number of HIV/AIDS cases in the world with 6.19 million people living with the disease.The shortage of healthcare professionals remains one of the most critical challenges facing the healthcare sector. With the doctor to population ratio having declined well below the global average of 15 doctors per 10,000 people, to six doctors per 10,000 people, many stakeholders believe that the shortage of medical professionals in South Africa is a national crisis.
