Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says R848 billion has been allocated for health services over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), a tool the government uses to manage competing policy priorities and budget realities.

This includes R11.6 billion to address the 2023 wage agreement, R27.3 billion for infrastructure, and R1.4 billion for the National Health Insurance (NHI) grant over the same period.

“Many of these activities are already underway but require further development before the NHI can be rolled out at scale. Madam Speaker, there has also been significant progress in improving access to public transport services for low-income commuters,” said Godongwana.
