Title The national health insurance and traditional healing in South Africa
 
Creator Vawda, Naseema
 
Subject
 
Description In the proposed National Health Insurance system, the dominant view is that South Africa has a two-tier healthcare system – one private and the other public. The author challenges this view and presents data to show that significant numbers of South Africans use traditional healing methods for treatment for a range of conditions. She argues that the exclusion of the third tier traditional healing in NHI should be reconsidered.
