Forty million South Africans without medical aid

Only about 14% of South Africans belong to a medical aid scheme, the Health Systems Trust (HST) said on Monday.

This left a balance of more than 40-million people without cover and dependent on the public health sector, spokesperson Fiorenza Monticelli said in a statement distributed at the health informatics SA conference held in Johannesburg.
