Government is waiting to hear if it has managed to avert a crippling strike among doctors with a new wage offer that will see some receiving increases of up to 60 percent.
The South African Medical Association and the state are discussing the offer at the Bargaining Council in Centurion.
Medical professionals in some provinces have gone on wildcat strikes in recent days.
Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi’s new offer will see salaries streamlined. From 1 July interns will receive increases of up to 53 percent while specialists will get a pay hike of around 25 percent.
“This differentiated increase will allow us to address the gross inequalities across the health system.”
