Dr Thembisile Xulu has been appointed South Africa's new Director-General for Health, inheriting a department struggling with internal dysfunction, financial scandals, and chronic shortages of healthcare workers while facing the challenge of implementing or revising the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Health.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a health department in disarray with leadership and corruption issues. This is your chance to push for a shake-up in public health management or diversify into private-sector solutions as government health delivery may remain unstable.
