ActionSA is calling for KZN Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane to resign over her “dishonesty” about medicine shortages in the province. After her visit to the Provincial Pharmaceutical Supply Depot, she denied there are shortages. But patients and healthcare workers say medications are still missing or delayed. https://health-e.org.za/2025/02/14/patients-and-nurses-dispute-kzn-healths-denial-of-medicine-shortages/
The Limpopo health department is being criticised for paying R150,000 a month in rent for a dilapidated building in Polokwane that houses its provincial medicine depot. This depot plays a vital role in supplying medicines to over 400 clinics and 43 hospitals across the province. Poor conditions include water leaks causing damage and workers are concerned about their health. Even though the lease expired in April 2024, the department is still paying rent. https://health-e.org.za/2025/02/17/limpopo-health-department-under-fire-for-paying-r150000-monthly-rent-for-dilapidated-building/

South Africa’s plan for universal healthcare is facing tough questions. The NHI promises healthcare for all, but experts from the Universal Healthcare Access Coalition say it’s not financially or structurally possible in its current form. They believe a single, tax-funded system can’t work and would leave the country struggling to afford quality care for everyone. Find out what they're proposing instead: https://health-e.org.za/2025/02/13/healthcare-coalition-says-nhi-is-unfeasible-proposes-alternative-route-to-universal-health-coverage/

Rudzani Thavhana (20) from Limpopo went into labour and called for an ambulance at 2am. No help came. Left with no choice, she walked to catch a 4am bus to Siloam Hospital.

Following President Trump’s executive order to pause foreign aid for 90 days, the US has exempted funding for humanitarian aid, including life-saving medicines. But it's unclear what this means for South African HIV programmes funded by PEPFAR. Professor Linda-Gail Bekker of the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation confirms that nearly all PEPFAR-related programmes, including HIV treatment, care, and research, have been put on hold. This includes key services for marginalised groups. Find out more from other experts here: https://health-e.org.za/2025/01/31/experts-warn-of-hiv-crisis-as-pepfar-funds-paused/

NPO Future Families, which operates in Limpopo, Gauteng, and North West, has shut down all activities due to Trump's 90-day foreign aid freeze. 43 of its 59 staff in Limpopo are now on unpaid leave, halting essential services like trauma support for GBV victims and HIV prevention programmes. Clinics are overcrowded, and many young people are unable to access PrEP or counselling: https://health-e.org.za/2025/02/12/us-funding-freeze-disrupts-hiv-tb-and-gbv-support-services/
