The department’s Foster Mohale says the NHI is meant to pave the way for improved access to healthcare for everyone.
He says Thursday's discussions will address concerns around the new reform.
"The primary objective of the NHI reforms is directed at unifying the current fragmented health system.
“This country-wide stakeholder engagement programme also targets communities, ordinary people and healthcare providers who stand to benefit most from the first implementation of the NHI."
