Over 5000 jobs to be advertised in public health

South Africa

The state has set itself a goal that is aimed at creating more than 5000 jobs in public health from January 2019.

Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi made the announcement yesterday on behalf of the National Health Council, a statutory body he chairs, following its meeting on Thursday and Friday.

The council comprises nine health MECs and their heads of department, the deputy minister of health and the surgeon-general of the SA Military Health Services, among others. The move is part of the implementation of the presidential health summit recommendations in response to the health crisis.

“This announcement, which will result in the filling of more than 5300 posts in provincial health departments from the beginning of next month, in addition to being a product of the [President Cyril Ramaphosa’s] stimulus package is also the implementation of the recommendations of the presidential health summit,” said Motsoaledi.

“We are alive to the fact that the health system still needs more personnel, but this is what we could afford.

“We are working on improvements that must be effected in the next coming financial years, starting with the 2019/20 financial year.”
