Very soon people may have to face the scarcity of the health practitioners in south Africa because health Professionals Council of SA (HPSCA) has struck off the names of those health practitioners who failed to pay the annual fee before the ending of deadline.
The striking off health practitioners has restrained about 8,593 health practitioners from practicing. It is important to know that there is often privation of health parishioners in South Africa and this move by HPSCA may worsen the situation.
According to the officials of HPSCA, those health practitioners who wish to get re-enrolled after six months but before 12 months they will have to pay the twice of the annual fee. On the contrary, those who will seek re-enrollment after 12 months they will have to pay five times more than the present fee.
I personally believe that the tug-of-war between health practitioners and HPSCA is certainly going to make the laymen suffer a lot.
