The national Health Department has expressed its appreciation of the allocation of additional money, made in Finance Minister Trevor Manuel’s budget speech on Wednesday.
The money has been allocated for human resources, HIV/Aids, hospital revitalisation and tertiary services.
The Health Department had earlier made a proposal to the treasury with regard to the remuneration of workers in the health sector, particularly nurses, and the R5.3 billion allocation for human resources is in response to this.
Health spokesperson Sibani Mngadi says that, “The allocation for HIV and Aids will enable the department to achieve its objective of significantly increasing access care and treatment for HIV and Aids to all.”
Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang is expected to elaborate on the utilisation of resources during her own budget speech.
